Superheroes fan (both those who wear capes and the [extra]ordinary people who don’t each day).
Always a New Yorker-at-heart (and Brooklyn-born!), but living in North Carolina for many years.
Two things you’ll frequently hear from me:
- Digital transformation is often seen as tech-first, but it’s people-centric and more about the transformation of behaviors and outcomes reinforced by innovation.
- The future of work (and life) is reliant on the ongoing present of education (in all ways, formats and environments).
Glad to connect, collaborate and help or adviseโaiming to bring people together to make a meaningful impact.
