I’m fascinated by innovation. New ideas inspire me. But it’s not just the ideas, the technology, or the concepts. No, it’s how new concepts can be leveraged to change the way we’ve always done something; how emerging technology can be applied to solve business problems; how keen aesthetic can illuminate something we’d otherwise miss; how a great idea with the proper execution can disrupt an industry. It’s not just about the idea, you see; it’s how that idea can be applied to bring about change and change for the good.I’m also passionate about helping others, particularly by helping them view their challenges from perspectives they hadn’t considered before. This is a critical part of the innovation process. If we can’t set aside our preconceptions, we’ll never find that truly radical idea we are seeking. In 15+ years working with customers as an IT Account Executive, what I most enjoyed was helping them solve challenges in a way they hadn’t considered before. And this is what I’m most looking forward to in the future.Big picture thinking comes naturally to me, but I also have the distinct ability to think through finer details. My years of sales experience have trained me well in the business process approach, thinking in terms of return on investment and the needs of the client’s client. Not only that, but my background in Philosophy combined with my fascination with technology allow me to weigh all the options while being very structured in my analysis. And I love bringing others along in this process, sharing my ideas with them and hearing new ideas from them. In the end, I hope it’s said about me that I helped people solve problems and achieve new insights by thinking differently than they had in the past. That's my goal.
