Maybe Revolution
is the Point.

Over nearly three decades, I’ve led transformations at companies most people have heard of: I founded eBay’s Platform Solutions Group in Europe, ran the Open Innovation Lab and Office of the Chair at Mozilla, and invested in social impact organizations globally as Principal at Google.org. I served as faculty chair for entrepreneurship and open innovation at Singularity University, where I taught thousands of leaders. I’ve taught at Berkeley Haas, Stanford, London Business School, ESMT, and HEC Paris.

Today I run radical — a boutique advisory firm helping organizations turn disruption into competitive advantage. I’m the bestselling author of Disrupt Disruption (2023), GYSHIDO (2025), and OUTLEARN (2026), the first volume in the Built for Turbulence series. I write the radical Briefing twice a week to over 10,000 readers, host the Built for Turbulence podcast, and run GYSHIDO — a global productivity movement with no tolerance for fluff.

Before all of the above I was — in roughly this order — an entrepreneur, a founder of a consulting firm, an early Mozillian, and the writer behind The Heretic. I’m a Co-Founder of the Women’s Impact Alliance. I live at 5,430 feet in Boulder, Colorado, climb the mountains around me, and once taught Pilates to two Olympic marathoners from Team USA.
