Change Through Storytelling
I believe that every fundamental human change starts with a story. It is the vision, the dream, and the shared narrative that allows us to cooperate and to create change. And while a good story is fundamental, successful change requires a skilled storyteller to bring it to life. That is what I do. Whether it be digital transformation for an enterprise, developing a future plan for a city, or consulting on technology and sustainability for international fisheries, I use my craft as a storyteller combined with my 25 years experience as a consultant and technologist to create change.
