Consultant and educator focused on innovation and strategy consulting. Help CEOs, senior execs and their teams develop their leadership skills by showing them how to tap their organization's creative potential.Innovation is complex. I help both students and corporate clients learn how to use design thinking, creative problem solving and leadership coaching to develop new products, capabilities and services. After 30+ years of corporate work in strategy, M&A, finance and research, I am currently focused on using creativity and innovation tools to guide clients and students the "how to's" of developing novel and useful products and services.Reflecting that combination, I am currently working at Illinois Institute of Technology in their Design, Business and Interdisciplinary (IPRO) programs. The combination of the real world and academics provides both students and clients with the best of theory and practice.
