About Me

I'm a seasoned creative leader in design with deep experience in digital product development. I’ve led creative teams in both global design consultancies and in-house in the US, UK and European markets. I’ve driven new business, developed partnerships and inspired cross-functional teams to deliver on creative solutions for large-scale projects in consumer and B2B software, spaces and services. I've launched products in the market for top brands - GE, AT&T, Shell, IKEA, VW and dozens of others across industries. Most recently I’ve worked as VP of Design at HERE Technologies in Berlin and Global Executive Creative Director on the IKEA account for frog design. For the past 20+ years, I’ve been a hands-on contributor to the vision, delivery and launch of products and services in mobility, finance, energy, commerce and healthcare. I've taken pride in building the teams, tools and workflows to enable designers, developers and data scientists to create great experiences. I have a strong interest in technologies which enhance the everyday for the built environment focusing on ways of working, learning and retailing experiences. I’m passionate about creating the relationships which inspire and grow individuals into leaders and ideas into reality.
