My previous CEO (John Kelly, a reference of mine) once said “You need people who are Farmers and people who are Vikings” in business. The farmers stay and grow what is there, the Vikings seek out what is next. For me, a Viking is another word for innovation and is a tool that can harvest new fields and opportunities. Through my career I have played both roles, but innovating has always played a central role in my teams’ successes. Below are some key projects that I have driven, to get different outcomes.
