“I’m passionate about leveraging strategic design and technology to nurture transformative change. While we work to catch this next wave of innovation, I think it’s important to be reflective about our past, inclusive of the many perspectives around our current context, and empathetically creative in envisioning, building and co-creating the solutions we need. We’re motivated to see people and planet prosper. Technology helps us connect with and engage others to design the solutions that can help us realise that vision.”
