Founder & Chief Navigator, Mile Zero

Boston

As the Founder & Chief Navigator at MileZero, I work with brave leaders and Intraprenuers go beyond

innovation theory and theater to get work done and make change happen. We combine deep expertise in cutting

edge thinking with a die-hard commitment to creating practical solutions that makes innovation work and stick

in your company. We know that driving change in an existing company is one of the hardest jobs out there and

we work with you and your team to make the (seemingly) impossible happen.

Prior to founding MileZero, I was a Partner at Innosight, the innovation and growth strategy firm founded by

Harvard Professor Clayton Christensen, and served clients in Global 1000 companies, nonprofits, and startups in

industries including retail and apparel, consumer packaged goods and healthcare. My teams collaborated closely

with our clients to identify new markets and business growth opportunities, design and launch new business

models, and unlock the potential of people and organizations to deliver real-world impact.

As a Brand Manager at Procter & Gamble, I gained hands-on experience making innovation work at big

companies by leading the North American launch of Swiffer, developing and launching Swiffer WetJet, and

leading strategy and marketing for P&G’s $2B Household Needs portfolio at WalMart.

My articles on innovation have appeared in Fast Company, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Harvard Business

Review Online, and my perspective has been featured in The New York Times and NPR’s Marketplace.
