I am one of the leading authorities on the subject of #dematerialization, the process of replacing physical goods with digital services. I have deep expertise in the design and launch of new services that redefine categories and change consumer habits. That is backed by a track record of successful innovation. I provide strategic insight to leaders of firms in digital transformation. I am highly-sought as a keynote speaker, board member and facilitator of strategic planning processes. My book, Vaporized: Solid Strategies for Success in a Dematerialized World, was selected as the 2016 International Book of the Year from a field of 10,000 business books at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I provide CEOs, boards of directors and other business leaders with strategy and insight about business reinvention and digitization. These perspectives are especially useful today, during the mass migration to a wide range of new networked devices and the disruption of many traditional industries. I speak from deep experience as an entrepreneur, investor and senior executive for global businesses.
