Bio

There are few things that have captivated our collective attention more than the mobile phone. For the past 20 years, I’ve been nearly obsessed with creating, marketing and investing in solutions that leverage the priceless mobile device and have a positive impact on health, wealth or the earth. As a mobile payments pioneer, I managed the initial product development of the tokenization infrastructure at MasterCard that keeps your Apple Pay, Google Wallet and Samsung Pay transactions safe. I also had the unique opportunity to be one of a handful of people ''in the room'' on the Corporate Strategy Team as MasterCard prepared for the massive transition from a membership organization to a for-profit company leading to a record-breaking IPO. My contributions as an internal entrepreneur as a founding member of MasterCard Worldwide’s Information Products and Services team continue to yield the company over $40+ million annually. I am also known for developing cutting edge brand and entertainment marketing campaigns for an impressive roster of companies including AT&T, JC Penney, GameStop, Chili’s, Nintendo, Nokia, RIM, LG, State Farm, Huggies, Doritos, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and San Antonio Spurs. I enjoy working with early-stage technology startups to craft and implement business strategies, growth marketing plans and develop compelling software products for web and mobile. My latest book, Decide Like a Boss, describes the Steamwork System for making and implementing powerful decisions as a business owner or team leader.
