Business transformation and new business design have been part of my business career. New Business development from a global perspective and experience where I have been a creator and builder of startups, turnarounds, operational and organization redesigns, repositioning, and leading change in many challenging environments has provided real value in knowledge and project expertise.
In the past twenty years, innovation has been central to my work in coaching, advisory, consulting, and mentoring roles. I have built sustainability through evaluation, growth impact, and value-creation alternatives. Strength in research and analysis, combined with depth in managing change and exploring and leveraging transitions, has built out my understanding.
The value of building Business Ecosystems in design and thinking is becoming essential today. I offer help to navigate the complexities of ecosystem-driven innovation, foster the power of collaborations and co-creation and keep those engaged in Ecosystems ahead of the curve to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving markets that are more complex and challenging today
Recently, my focus has been on Industrial and Energy transitions, from the scope and impact of new technology, innovation, and digital perspectives to the shift to ecosystem approaches to integrate into future business designs and thinking.
My primary role is advising and coaching within these areas, where the principal focuses on building innovation capacity, competencies, and capabilities within innovation practices built more around ecosystem design and thinking
