AboutI am a founder, builder, learner, executive, investor, strategist and innovator. An innovation and new venture expert on designing, developing and launching new products and services. A driver of transformational change through culture, strategy, team health and clarity. A life-long learner, reading a book a week and constantly seeking out new ideas and frameworks. I think big and get stuff done.BioAfter graduating from UPenn with degrees in business and systems engineering, I built a strong foundation in business strategy, game theory, value chain and industry analysis, risk assessment, risk management, and financial modeling as a corporate restructuring banker and hedge fund portfolio manager in the 2000’s and early 2010’s.Always being an engineer and builder at heart, in the early 2010’s I designed and patented a golf product and built a golf startup around the technology. Activities included product design, marketing, manufacturing, systems design, fulfillment, domestic and international distribution and sales force recruiting and management. The product won best in show at golf’s preeminent trade show, was featured on The Golf Channel, golf.com, PGA Magazine, Golf World Magazine, Golf Digest, among others. More recently, I was Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of ASI, a $1 billion retailer with about 4,000 employees where I was responsible for leading a wholesale corporate transformation including a new strategy and culture, creating a healthy and strategically aligned executive team, and building an innovation practice based on Jobs to be Done and lean startup principles. I am among a small elite group of Jobs to be Done Innovation practitioners. I was trained and mentored by Bob Moesta, one of the principal architects of the Jobs to be Done Theory. I appeared on Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen’s podcast The Disruptive Voice where I coined the term "innovation paradox" to describe a highly misunderstood concept. Currently, I am the Managing Partner of Laser Ventures an advisor of and investor in early-stage ventures. I advise on innovation, leadership, strategy, culture, fundraising, and team health. What excites me most is collaborating with smart high-energy individuals and teams. I love sharing ideas and figuring things out together.
