Futurist / Change Agent / Organizational Strategist
Have you ever said in frustration, “This isn’t rocket science!” when trying to deal with a nagging organizational problem? Perhaps, a rocket scientist is exactly what you need after all!
With a degree in aerospace engineering, I’ve often been referred to as that. While my current work is focused more on people than numbers, there’s still some truth to that label. Striving for evolutionary leaps and exponential improvement, applying innovative thinking, and imagining new possibilities are traits that originally led me to a field focused on the stars. Instead, I now apply them to improving organizations here on Earth.
My Passions
Work in the modern age should be more engaging, more purposeful, and more human and I am passionate about making this happen for organizations.
However, disruptive change, which is rapidly increasing as we move towards a future filled with artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, quantum computing, and more, can be an impediment to building such workplaces. This is where other passions/interests of mine come in handy.
I am fascinated with exploring the future, as well as the psychology of change in organizations. As disparate as these two interests sound, when woven together they provide a unique approach for helping organizations undertake the paradigm shift needed to be successful in the rapidly changing world of work.
My Qualifications
Whether as a solo practitioner or employee, I’ve spent the better part of three decades driving small and large-scale changes in business. These have ranged from adoptions of new systems, processes, and policies to organizational restructurings and people-development efforts. Some of the advantages I bring to the table include:
-
Prosci Certified Change Practitioner
-
Advanced Certification in Strategic Foresight (Univ. of Houston)
-
Experience in multiple industries including Pharmaceutical, Financial, Publishing, Accounting/Advisory (Big 4), Engineering & Construction
-
Extensive experience with technology implementations and digital strategy
-
Strong foundation in internal communications; former president of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) NJ chapter, among other Board roles
-
Masters in management, Bachelors in engineering
With these capabilities and experience I can help your organization develop a newfound sense of confidence in the future.
