My Leadership Philosophy

  • Team

    You are only as strong as your team.

    Build a team so strong that you don’t know who the boss is!

  • Accountability first. Advocacy next.

    People support and invest in those they value.

  • A visionary without pragmatism is just a dreamer.

    While design is uniquely enabled to express vision, true success is in the influence of turning it into reality.

  • Embrace data AND respect intuition.

    Minimize risk with data but don’t be risk averse!

  • Change is the only constant.

    Learn. Unlearn. Adapt. Redefine.

  • Balance courage and empathy in the face of resistance.

    Change resistance is real, even if it is for the better.

  • Failing fast is only good when you can recover fast.

    Take risks, make mistakes, and proudly share your learnings/experiences with others around you.

  • Good design is not just adding and removing. It is about multiplying and amplifying.

    Make design the X-factor in the competition and the organization.
