I’m an innovation geek that is living, thinking, sweating and dreaming design thinking and user-centered innovation. My whole career I have worked at the forefront of innovation, with a critical understanding of forces behind disruption, connecting both technology, trends, human insights and business. I have been deeply involved in hundreds of innovation projects, as executive, leader and adviser in a wide range of industries (media, transportation, pharma, food and beverage, unions and NGOs, public service, city development and 3D printing). I move freely throughout the double diamond and pull effortlessly from both the Design Thinking and the Lean Start-up toolbox to get out of thought land - building, testing, learning. The early stages of innovation are of particular interest to me (fuzzy frontend), where deep user insights, trends, market data and creativity must be combined into a strategic foundation for concrete design / innovation work. I advise both public and private organisations on innovation and helps strengthen their capacity at a strategic and tactical level. With over 100 workshops under my belt, I hold a unique ability to engage people in culture change and to build creative confidence within teams.
