Being an entrepreneur, explorer and father are at the top of the list…however that’s likely not much of a differentiator in this group! As an entrepreneur I've run a number of companies, all of which have been focused on creating memorable customer experiences at retail. At my current company, we work with some of the world's most successful brands and retailers to find new ways to engage customers in-store. It is wonderfully fascinating to live at the intersection of technology and retail, and to play a small but important role in helping traditional retailers make the leap to a tech-forward way of doing business.

I'm passionate about every aspect of the retail experience - it's an industry that reinvents itself over and over, and it's exciting to play a role in the evolution of this fascinating space.

Attending a TED conference had always been on my list of things to do, but it wasn't until Chris Anderson's invite hit my inbox on a flight back from New York in 2014 that I decided to make the leap - before landing at SFO I had registered for TED Global in Rio and booked my flight!
