Bringing the Future
to the Table
My mission is to help leaders shape what our new capabilities become—in ourselves, our organizations, and our communities.
About
For thirty years, I’ve worked at the intersection of technology, business, and culture.
I co-founded Younicos, which built Europe’s first megawatt-scale commercial grid battery; led RMI’s Third Derivative as it mobilized more than $500 million for climate technology; built a contemporary art gallery; and hosted more than a hundred intimate dinners in Berlin.
Along the way, I learned that new capability only becomes real when people, money, and institutions move together.
As I witness innovations in energy, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology handing us more power than ever before, the question I keep returning to is:
How do we live with what we can do?
My current work is focused on turning that question into tangible action: through the leaders I advise, the gatherings I curate, and the communities I work alongside.
Current work
Gatherings
I curate dinners, salons, and retreats where people learn from one another, build trusted relationships, and turn big questions into shared action.
Community Infrastructure
I'm developing The Quantum Harvest Project, which builds community-owned infrastructure that turns new technology into lasting local wealth.
