    In the early 2000s, the Alzheimer's Association helped me meet the extreme challenge of supporting a parent with early-onset dementia as a sole caregiver. Now I have the privilege of being able to give back as a member of the Washington Chapter's Board of Directors.

    In this capacity, I've been able to use my strategic planning, organization design, marketing strategy and business development skills to help the chapter improve its Development, Corporate Engagement and Volunteer Management…

    In the early 2000s, the Alzheimer's Association helped me meet the extreme challenge of supporting a parent with early-onset dementia as a sole caregiver. Now I have the privilege of being able to give back as a member of the Washington Chapter's Board of Directors.

    In this capacity, I've been able to use my strategic planning, organization design, marketing strategy and business development skills to help the chapter improve its Development, Corporate Engagement and Volunteer Management functions.

    I feel honored and lucky to have been able to contribute to the chapter's turnaround and growth over the past 4 years, increasing revenue by over 50% while navigating a transition from independent chapter to national affiliate, plus a geographic expansion from Western Washington to the whole state, plus Northern Idaho.

    Explored possibilities for a startup concept aimed at helping clients and partners in corporate, startup, technology and investment settings to incubate and accelerate business, product and brand experience breakthroughs with a combination services and joint venturing model.

    Partnered with a PhD Behavioral Economist trained by Amos Tversky at Stanford and a Senior Design Leader from IDEO to develop a unique innovation management approach called Behavioral Innovation. Behavioral Innovation synthesizes Behavioral Economics, Design Thinking, Open Innovation, and various Strategy, Product and Innovation Management disciplines into a 4-phase methodology.

    We invented Behavioral Innovation to formalize an ethical, human-centered approach to generating big ideas that connect meaningful business breakthroughs with genuine human progress in a world increasingly defined the intimate, powerful and dangerous relationships between everyday human experience and ever more pervasive, intelligent and affective technologies.
