About: I'm the resident blogger here at BIF. It's my job to provide our community with the very best thinking on business model innovation.

I spent the summer interviewing and profiling our amazing group of storytellers here at the BIF-3 Summit. We're all in for a treat.

When I'm not completely immersed in all things innovation, I'm chasing after three crazy kids and a menagerie of pets.
