Entrepreneur, Investor, Oceanographer, Open Innovation pioneer. On a mission to help organizations engineer Open Innovation practices into their ecosystem that have the power to bolster innovation, transform mindsets and unlock possibility.

Innovative, unorthodox and non-traditional in outlook since childhood, I fell in love with the environment at 6 years old, developing deep admiration for the world’s explorers and ocean conservationists like Cousteau. I became committed to enabling the sustainability and regeneration of the environment. Since then, I earned degrees in Oceanography and Architecture, merging the two disciplines to build biodomes and aquariums across the globe.

I spent years in creative development, leveraging Open Innovation systems to help governmental organizations and Fortune 500’s alike change their thinking, suspend their disbelief and envision a world of possibility that hadn’t existed before.

Since then, I’ve served as Vice-President at XPRIZE Foundation and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the White House for the Food and Drug Administration, advised the United Nations and served as an Innovation Advisor to Facebook (Meta).

Today, I am investing in organizations focusing on research, development and commercialization of breakthrough technologies to solve problems like environmental degradation, urban-rural divides and planetary regeneration.

Relentless belief that the limits of human innovation are only about as wide and as deep as our oceans themselves.
