Summary

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. For 30 years, I have supervised the design, development and launch of digital services on all platforms. I have launched new digital services in Asia, the Americas and Europe. My expertise spans telecommunications, digital media, technology, software and services. My career accomplishments include the design and launch of breakthrough new media services that redefined entire categories. Many of these are now used by hundreds of millions of people each day: * The launch of the first all-digital multichannel satellite TV platform in Asia with MTV + Star TV in 1991 * The first fully animated multimedia games for PCs at 7th Level in 1993. * The first multiplayer games in Java on the Web for the Station@Sony.com in 1997 * The first truly interactive TV game shows for Sony and Microsoft in 1998 * The world's first streaming video to mobile phones for PacketVideo and NTT DoCoMo in 2000. * The first game service for mobile phones in the US for Mforma and AT&T in 2002 * The largest live online learning program for Oprah Winfrey's Live Your Best Life in 2009 During the past decade, I have been the CEO of General Creativity, a strategy consulting firm. My clients include leading technology firms, telecommunication companies, media conglomerates, global standards bodies, foundations and government agencies. Most of my client work is confidential.
