It’s not if you’re going to be disrupted... it’s when. I'm a customer-focused, lean thinker who can help you develop sound strategies and transform them into actionable, operational outcomes so you can take part in the future of your industry.Do you find the status quo stifling? Wouldn't it be great if your company stopped doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results? Inaction, complacency, and avoidance surround us far too often. The future fascinates me. Opportunities for improvement drive me to create dialogue with others, drawing on their unique expertise to uncover facts and think in new ways to approach today's age-old issues.At Techstars, I partner with corporations, nonprofits and governmental organizations to launch and implement mentorship driven accelerator programs that connect you to the most promising startups to future proof your business. Outside of work, I enjoy working towards my goal of visiting all 61 National Parks in the US and training my Bernedoodle puppy to future proof my house. Peak life experiences include living in 5 countries and traveling to ~30 others and failing to summit Mount Kilimanjaro and, in turn, developing an adverse reaction to Toto’s Africa song.
