Speaking
Many of my speeches and leadership team and board facilitations are done in confidence. The common themes are on innovation, scale, customer obsession, technology effectiveness, leadership and improving decision making, all based on lessons from Amazon. I speak on the internet of things and strategies to consider for creating your IoT plan. My goal is to give tools and techniques that can be immediately implemented, which help drive innovation and a customer obsessed culture.
