Senior Vice President / Managing Director North America
CurrentSpace Doctors is a Cultural and Creative Consultancy.As managing director and senior vice president of Space Doctors' North America office I've built a high performing team of senior consultants focusing on addressing our clients' problems and transforming their brand through thought-leadership and expertise in design, social sciences, and innovation. Our clients include Microsoft, Google, J&J, Amazon, Kraft Heinz, and Audi among others - we specialize in Innovation, R&D, Brand, and Design; establishing a through-line from insight to foresight, demand spaces and innovation platforms through hardware and software roadmaps, business and marketing strategy through to design and creative strategy.I joined with a mission to establish the NA Office - hiring, developing offer, developing business and client relationships, growing revenue. Prior to my joining, Space Doctors was a well-established insight and foresight strategic consulting firm in EMEA and APAC, but did not have a North American office - I thrive in highly ambiguous environments, wearing multiple hats, and producing structure that works for diverse creatives, high capability experts, and emerging talent. I've done this many times within corporations in many regions, this being the first on the agency side. As an anthropologist and designer, I've built innovative products and tools to help our clients reach new audiences, identify under-served markets and unrecognized opportunities, and co-create solutions with more robust and efficient methods and approaches. But most importantly, I do this through building high trust, unequivocally capable, and deeply engaged teams - because time and again team culture makes the difference.
