Consulting
The best way to predict the future is to create it.

I help organizations transform the world with visionary products, services, and experiences.

Over the past twenty years, I've led the strategy, design, development, and launch of well-known and well-loved products and services experienced by millions of people every day.

Some of my favorite collaborations have helped

• surgeons make life-or-death decisions during organ transplants and traumas
• one of the largest cities in America match human services with need and funding
• people with chronic illnesses get lower cost medication
• companies of all sizes make mission-critical, location-based predictions and decisions

These days the focus of my practice is primarily coaching, because the transformation of leaders and their organizations is massive when those leaders are empowered and equipped to change the world in a way that is meaningful and good.

However, I do love a gnarly challenge, so I continue to occasionally advise purpose-driven organizations and research groups on complex problems and projects that improve quality of life.
