I’m passionate about guiding leaders and their teams to tackle complex challenges and make big change happen that has real, measurable, transformative impact.I'm a dedicated innovation consultant, seasoned entrepreneur, and servant leader who has led teams through successful, high-impact product and service design initiatives across industries and around the world. I use my combination of technical, business, and creative skills to help organizations and their leaders ask the right questions, develop strategic vision, and find and implement innovative solutions that create positive change. Developed over my 30 years of product and service design, my approach to innovation integrates human-centered design, systems thinking, behavioral science, strategic foresight and other methodologies to address just about any business challenge that organizations face today. I've learned that the best approach to any complex challenge is to be pragmatic, holistic, and people-centered.Prior to consulting, I held positions in high-tech manufacturing, research and development, product marketing, and field service. I have co-founded, mentored and funded several startup ventures. Some of the great organizations I've had the privilege to serve include General Electric, Michelin, SAP, Coca Cola, Bank of America, Master Card, Bacardi, United Healthcare, ServiceNow, the US Food and Drug Administration, and the US Agency for International Development. I hold an MBA and BSME, and I’m fluent in French and Dutch. In my free time, I’m obsessed with cycling, enjoy exploring new cultures through travel, and love bringing broken things back to life.
