An idea that powers me: Building collaborative ecosystems to drive innovation in the sharing economy to make cities better place to live. Innovations in the sharing economy have the capacity to accelerate transformative changes on a large scale in the way we consume, produce, and interact with each other. My focus remains on guiding clients through a systemic approach to design efficient sharing systems for goods, mobility and space. I believe in a future where sharing is not just a practice, but a social norm that promotes sustainability and community well-being.
