Helping Everyday People Become Everyday Innovators
Growing up in a global community, I’ve always been fascinated by uncovering and harnessing the power of creativity and diversity to create long-lasting cultures of excellence.
After my early years in Tokyo, Japan, I started my career working for multinational organizations in the United States. Then I spent the better part of the last two decades building and scaling multiple successful technology startups. Each experience enriched my core belief that we already have the innate superpowers of creativity, agility, and resilience – we simply need a framework to apply these powers to experience our best life and work.
Over time and as I navigated global experiences across industries, I found myself creating and applying this surprisingly simple system to help everyday people innovate in their everyday work, tackling tough challenges and seizing transformational opportunities without the typical burnout or risk.
Today, as the CEO of Platypus Labs – an innovation research, consulting, and training company – I’m passionate about partnering with leaders and teams to achieve the outcomes they crave: growth, innovation, competitive advantage, deeper engagement, and predictable results.
