The study of Meaning & a pursuit of difference have led me into diverse domains of knowledge (art & humanities, social hermeneutics, strategy & policy-making), cultural contexts & professional practices. I have emerged from all that to co-found CHÔRA, where I contribute: a strategic innovation knowledge ontology, a practice framework centred around response, renewal & visuospatial reasoning; experience in the articulation of policy; the facilitation of governance processes, the management of large scale international programs; a deep & pragmatic understanding of the leadership & operational implications of strategic innovation processes. I bring to what I do a generative & evolutionary approach to the dynamics of human social systems and of their entrepreneurial efforts, & an appreciation of the "space" where knowledge emerges & the design of actions happen. I have been in and worked for prominent research & academic institutions such as Harvard University, the Collège de France, the Scuola Normale di Pisa, the Italian National Research Council, the Copenhagen Business School, or organisations such as Generali Group, Pirelli, Indesit, UNESCO, USA NIC, HWNS, Suncorp Group, Leonardo, Insurance Australia Group, UNDP.
