“Over 20+ years in advertising and marketing agencies, I’ve had the great privilege of working in a variety of roles and industries. Innovation has always been central to the work. For campaigns, go to market programs, branding, product development…fresh, breakthrough thinking is essential.
I’ve seen teams get to outcomes so much faster, with results that are so much more effective, when cross-functional teams come together and solve problems together as a unit. It’s led me to believe that the right way to work is to bring the cross-functional team together at the start of the project, unify purpose, align on shared goals, eliminate barriers and remove hierarchy from the working group.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve run hundreds of co-creation workshops for startups, small businesses, F100 companies, agencies, consultancies, educational institutions, and nonprofits all over the world. Countless times, I’ve seen the working dynamics improve, and the ideas get better, when people problem-solve together. I firmly believe that great ideas can come from anywhere when the right structure is in place. That’s why I founded The Navigator Collective - to help teams accelerate faster than they thought possible.”
