Future First: Finding Opportunity in Global Challenges
My professional background is a combination of tech innovation, big banking, social science research, and organizational design consulting. Then a disaster struck and really catalyzed the idea of the book.
By 2012, I had moved out to the suburbs, I had twins and a baby daughter, and I was still consulting. Then Superstorm Sandy came along and thrashed the east coast, including New York. It damaged or destroyed over half a million homes, killed more than 200 people, and caused tens of billions of dollars worth of damage.
