Innovation and entrepreneurship require "blind faith, no false hope" (Foo Fighters). That may seem like a contradiction; it isn't. You need to be laser focused on the problem you're looking to address -- that's the "blind faith". Must believe you're spending your time and energy doing something important. Ask yourself: does your company need to be in the world? Why? What’s so essential about it?You cannot fall in love with your solution -- being open to feedback you avoid falling into the trap of "false hope" in the superiority of your current solution.You also need endless curiosity to explore problems and solutions, as well as a heart to keep going no matter the challenge.An analytical, data-driven, non-linear thinker, I'm a seasoned healthcare technology executive, advisor and entrepreneur, with extensive experience in business strategy, product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, scaling, business transformation, innovation, growth, sales and account management, and end-to-end M&A.Throughout my career I have created innovative new ventures and advised senior executives.
