ME!  INNOVATION CATALYST

My corporate innovation journey started in the first dotcom boom with the launch of WWW, 3G, smartphones, the rise of social networking, the lean start-up movement and looking at how digital could change the way we live. Fast forward to 2020, the world has transformed we now live, think, work digital. The corporate innovation challenge has shifted from embracing technology to embedding it into organisations' DNA - strategy, processes and culture - to drive digital transformation. My focus is to help corporates to build and execute innovation strategies to accelerate and meet their digital ambition.
