I believe in the power of vision and conviction.Vision defined as a deep understanding of users’ problems (emphasis on the plurals) and an equally deep understanding of the outcomes an organization must deliver. A perspective, built on this understanding, aligns and motivates even the most complex of organizations to move forward.Conviction in focus, thought and action. Both people and organizations fail to achieve their potential when lacking that conviction. I’ve been called ‘intense’ and a ‘squeaky wheel’ by mentors, colleagues, and team members - high praise in my view.I think in systems, frameworks, and sketches. Enterprise-wide strategies, multi-year roadmaps, and millions in revenue have begun with pen, paper, and lively discussion. A well-defined problem is a problem half solved.Across my professional and personal lives, I’m driven by the desire to explore, experiment, and learn. I’m at my happiest chasing the new and unknown.
