Summary

I see systems in 3D—anticipating what will happen before it does and knowing exactly which levers to pull for transformative impact. As a leader who launches breakthrough initiatives across corporate, startup, and nonprofit sectors, I create high-impact strategies that reshape how organizations approach complex challenges. My journey through corporate, startup, and technology ecosystems has sharpened my ability to discern potential beyond conventional boundaries. Where others chase corporate hype, I distinguish between superficial positioning and genuine breakthrough potential, uncovering hidden interconnections across marketing, technology, and strategic initiatives. Across sectors, I've learned that most organizations misunderstand the human dynamics critical to collaboration. Drawing on my pioneering work in building online communities and at P&G's Social Media Lab, I've discovered how teams can work effectively together when their underlying connections are genuinely understood. "Technology changes; humans don't." Reimagining progress, one human experience at a time.
