Japan based ecosystem builder who spends most of my time with edge people and projects with game-changing potential, from Bali (prototyping an ecosystem builders guild) to Bhutan (global Blue Economy summit), Barcelona (Fab Lab Summit & FabCafe Barcelona), Bangkok (the next FabCafe city) and Black Rock City (Burning Man)–and that’s just the “B” cities. Focused on prototyping and scaling local/global platforms and movements, from early days with Ashoka: Innovators for the Public and Public Allies, to creating one of the first two alpha TEDxes, TEDxTokyo, IMPACT Foundation Japan, and FabCafe Global, an open source network of cafes that are lively gateways to the maker revolution and a key connecting place for local and visiting creators. Launching a new interactive platform, Global Speakeasy, and a creative agency, Waterwheel.
