I am a curious explorer who drives purposeful innovation by connecting people to people and people to ideas. Innovation doesn’t happen when we withdraw from the world, but rather when we engage with it. If you want to connect more dots, you have to collect more dots. And the world is a laboratory of ideas waiting to be explored.
