Biography

NewEdge's experience runs deep. In 1992, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Laboratory system turned to me, CEO of NewEdge, to assist with identifying market opportunities for an extremely broad range of chemical, technological, and biological platforms. I saw a need for a new research method that would simultaneously identify products and attractive markets. This unique method provided the foundation for NewEdge's full range of innovation services. These services have returned highly successful outcomes for clients ranging in size from start-ups to Fortune 100's.

NewEdge partners with companies identifying and prioritizing opportunities and building offers to maximize ROI on business and innovation efforts. NewEdge works within markets and positions across the value chain and in every region of the world. Clients include: Microsoft, Motorola, Sharp Labs, DSM, Nokia, Dell, EBay, Yahoo!, Procter and Gamble, Colgate Palmolive, John Deere, Ferrari, Unilever, Weyerhaeuser, and many others.

In 2004, through one of our clients, we were introduced to The Brewery an innovation / design agency. From this introduction has sprung a partnership, where NewEdge and The Brewery act as one innovation consultancy - offering Strategy * Research * Design - for major corporations around the world. As of June 2008 we are a staff of 55 strong and growing.

Our goal is to be THE pre-eminent innovation company in the world - a BIG challenge!
