Bio
I'm a German-American author and entrepreneur, and the co-founder and co-CEO of the House of Beautiful Business, a global think tank and community. We connect business leaders, technologists, scientists, philosophers, policy makers, creatives, and artists who share a common interest: to make humans more human and business more beautiful. Through events, a multi-channel media platform, and a membership program for individuals and corporate partners, we create an imaginative and playful space for transformation on a personal and organizational level, and for our societies and economies at large.
Previously, I served as the chief marketing officer of NBBJ, a global design and architecture firm. From 2006 to 2013, I was the chief marketing officer of product design and innovation consultancy Frog Design.
I wrote two books, The Business Romantic (HarperCollins, 2015) and The End of Winning (2020).
