What innovation management really do?

AI, Robotics, Cybersecurity, Space, and More: Startups I’ve Partnered With Recently.

Over the past two years, I’ve worked with around 200 companies. In startups, being incomplete is part of the journey. Sometimes, a talented young engineering team needs a transfusion of experience; other times, the product lacks user focus. Many struggle to transition from lab to business. This is where I impact emerging technologies: from invention to product.

SPATIAL COMPUTING

Metavethics,
MMN, CIID, PAARM

My first AR concept, created as a student, earned a place in the Apple Design Project and brought me to California. Later, as a partner at Joinpad, I focused on industrial AR, which led to spatial computing projects for NTT Disruption in San Francisco.

I currently support the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design -aka CIID- and advise Metavethics, shaping ethical frameworks for metaverses in Cambridge, UK.

Today, as part of an Apple Dev team with PAARM and MMN, I design cutting-edge immersive experiences, focusing on Vision Pro and Quest 3—while we wait for AR glasses to emerge from the lab.
