- “I have been captivated by innovation since first setting eyes on a computer. I love adding value to businesses with technology, communication, and teamwork to gain and sustain competitive advantage from IP."
- "Prospecting for gold isn't about furiously digging everywhere, it's narrowing in and testing in likely sites such as surface reefs or panning riverbeds. For a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), this translates to a laser focus on which problem are you solving for which customer group and then showing a value add that that they are willing to pay for rather than doing nothing or going with a competitor or substitute solution.”
