Spirit of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Apple Inc. and Stanford University were my real-world classrooms, where I learned the spirit of design innovation and the entrepreneurial culture of the San Francisco Bay Area. I had the best mentors and was on fantastic teams.

Through a series of leadership positions at Apple, Stanford University, and the University of San Francisco over two decades, that spirit has infused my work and inspired my passion for sharing this culture with others to improve lives worldwide.

Don’t be afraid—innovate!
