CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER AT ?WHAT IF! / MD AT ACCENTURE

INNOVATION STATEMENT

To unleash innovation as a force for good in the world, energizing leaders to create future growth by revolutionizing business, to ultimately improve the lives of their customers, employees and the communities they serve.

 

PIVOTAL MOMENT

Early on at ?What If! I worked on a healthcare project to infuse patient insight into the drug discovery process to treat depression. There was a scientist on the team who had never talked to someone who was suffering from depression before working with us – and the power of that primary insight to ultimately identify a whole new set of symptoms that could be alleviated with medication. It was the first time that I truly understood the good that insight and innovation could bring to the world.

CURRENT CURIOSITY

Sustainable growth, how to not think about sustainability as a separate initiative but a core part of business and growth energy, how future-ready leaders need to be able to create, lead and fuel the right energy to create lasting impact from innovation.
