Challenge + Support = Results.

Over 20 years of experience leading research and innovation efforts, and even more years learning what it takes to make adoption of "the new" successful.

Evolution of an idea, product, brand, or business is sparked by challenges or threats in the environment. But to thrive, new ideas, products and people need support as much as they need to be "interrogated."

How to provide support in efficient ways that yield results is not well understood. Pragmatic ways to foster a growth mindset in companies are needed.

I have studied and practiced how to do this. I have a point of view and a track record. I think solving problems is fun; finding joy and better work is what I'm after.
