Entrepreneur with deep and prescient technical wisdom. I thrive for lively debates, critical thinking, abstract reasoning, endless reading, and Art.

I'm a Futurist & Transhumanist. I spend a lot of mental energy on the works Stuart Hameroff (Quantum Consciousness) and Ray Kurzweil (The Technological Singularity).

Creatively, I'm obsessed with user-centered design, Dieter Rams, Ray & Charles Eames, Elbert Hubbard, Roycroft, Dard Hunter, the Venice Renaissance, Arts & Craft, vintage books, and typeset printing, especially William & Morris.

I build ultra transparent teams that thrive in 'Result Only Work Environments' (ROWE). I strive for an employee environment that lives Daniel Pink's 'The Motivation Trifecta' composed of Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose. My organizations emote Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" (all 8 tiers including; Aesthetic Needs, Self Actualization, and Transcendence).

I strive to birth, refine and re-birth evolving employee-centric environments based on concepts like "Democracy at Work". I believe a workplace should be driven by its employees, for its employees. I love using tools like employee-based Prediction Markets and real-time communications & collaboration tools that promotes a 'Yes Culture' that fosters over-communication, ultra-transparency, measurable goals, the death of meetings, the elimination of middle-management, and a C-Suite that is in the service of its staff devoid of needless hierarchy.
