Speaker & Thought Leader
Knowledge is power.
Sharing knowledge is sharing power.
I’ve had the privilege to share my knowledge on topics such as design thinking, corporate innovation, venture building and ecosystem development with a spectrum of stakeholders that include government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, and universities. I’ve been invited to host panels, workshops and roundtables at tech events, culture festivals and corporate offsites to name a few.
