Bio

I am a human-centered creative technology leader in the VR AR industry focused on building a regenerative future through systems thinking and innovation design methodologies. I orchestrate elegant solutions for complex technical problems by inspiring collaboration and fostering communication across roles and teams, as well as, building and managing relationships with external vendors and partners. My success at leading award-winning XR projects is dependent on my many years of experience, ability to quickly assemble the right team and technology needed to address the problem, as well as mastery at prioritizing what it takes to demonstrate value within a short time frame with limited resources. I’ve been a team player at major corporations (Walt Disney, Citysearch, Sony, Fandango, Warner Brothers), a team leader at others (Technicolor, Deluxe), and a self-motivated industry leader as an entrepreneur and XR consultant. I've built and managed teams as small as 3 and as large as 40, across 6 continents and 14 countries. I’ve impacted hundreds of young designers through mentorship and educational programs who have been inspired to make user-centered products that people love. In addition. I have motivated tens of leaders to build and empower teams to further the study, use, and development of XR. I'm open to opportunities to make a larger impact on the future of humanity, the biosphere, and beyond, through virtual and augmented reality., ____________________________________________________________________________________ Topics for speaking, panels, & projects: Program Management, Product Management, Product Strategy, Product Design, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality, XR, AR, VR.
