Future Designer | Strategic Innovation Advisor | Complex Systems Thinker
With over four decades of experience at the intersection of technology, governance, and environmental systems, I specialize in designing and reasoning about complex sociotechnical and ecological systems, scaling from organizations to cities, nations, and the globe.
I have pioneered dynamic system models, feedback-based governance frameworks, and intervention strategies for public, private, and academic stakeholders. My leadership capacity-building and strategic foresight advisory work is recognized internationally, including by the World Economic Forum, for advancing systems modeling, public policy, and governance innovation.
