I love solving difficult challenges. And I get excited when I can help leaders and teams work together, combining individuals talents and experiences to build unique, successful solutions to social, organizational and business challenges.Although my resume' may use phrases such as multi-disciplined, innovation process expert and strategic visionary, it's the human, or relationship factors that make the difference between engaging in a project and developing a successful solution. Everyone is creative, and all of us use creative problem solving to move through life. To fully activate innovation in an organization, people... capabilities, assets/talents and strengths must be first identified, then fully leveraged. However, great ideas by themselves aren't enough. Identifying a problem worth solving, stretching and pushing new concepts to become distinct, and growing those concepts into fully realized commercial success is the true definition of innovation. My passions include strategic thinking and alignment, insight development, trends identification and application, ideation and elaboration of concepts, business model development, mergers, partnerships and acquisitions, and building new ventures into successful companies.Strategic ThinkingInnovationMergers & AcquisitionsProduct DevelopmentEntrepreneurial ExperienceCreative/Design ThinkingBrand ManagementGlobal Business DevelopmentExecutive Team Leadership
