Bio
Creative Thinker//Dynamic Leader//Eternal Optimist//Founder
I'm exploring new missions after nine years running Intentional Futures, where I helped courageous leaders understand fast-moving markets and give flight to big ideas.
Prior to starting iF, I launched the original Microsoft Stores, as well as key versions of Windows and Office. Before that I was a startup strategist, a technology analyst, and (briefly) a high school teacher. I have an MBA from Berkeley-Haas and a Bachelors in International Affairs from Georgetown. I love traveling, reading, cooking, coaching my kids' teams, playing tennis, and soaking up the outdoors up and down the West Coast.
I'm passionate about
Enabling upward mobility, up-skilling, cross-sector partnerships, solving hard problems
Areas of expertise
Education, Global Development, Innovation, Marketing, Product Management, Strategy, Technology
The TED story
After years of devouring TED talks and producing some popular ones from afar (see David Christian and Sal Khan), I'm now part of the TED movement and keen to see how the Audacious Project can close the time from 'ideas worth sharing' to 'actions worth taking.'
Things you might not know
