Personal Biography;Maker | T(h)inkerer | Entrepreneur | Researcher | Advisor | Innovator | Collaborator | KnowmadWhat drives me?People can do amazing things under the right circumstances. I believe that the democratisation of knowledge, skills and resources enables people to become the best version of themselves. Since childhood my mission has been to contribute to a positive shift in society; of which I see facets in the Digital Revolution. This Digital Revolution has democratized all phases of the product life cycle. Providing access to all at marginal cost. Now, both individuals and collaborative, open-source networks have increased access to knowledge, skills and resources. With this access comes the potential for every individual to eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, lower our carbon footprints and improve our collective well-being. However, as any innovation is a two-edged sword, the increase in complexity adds volatility to the system. As such, the utilization of current disruptive technologies requires active guidance to exploit their full potential. I have a multi-disciplinary knowledge base, supported by practical experience of successes and a fair share of the now popular failures. This skill set – with complimentary expertise in social science, business and technology - will support; the early identification and transformation of valuable idea to innovation; the translation and presentation of complex data to accessible knowledge; and the implementation of strategy through alignment of incentives and activation of change-agents through intrinsic motivation.
