I simply enjoy innovation. I got ‘hooked’ ten years ago and have increasingly focused upon it until it is 100% of my business thinking. I research innovation, develop novel innovation solutions and frameworks. I provide these as solutions to add to my advisory, coaching and consulting work in innovation for individuals, teams and organizations.

Through my business, Agility Innovation Specialists, we aim to help grow your body of  knowledge on innovation.

We research topics that relate to innovation for the future, applying what we learn to further develop organizations core innovation activity, offer appropriate advice on tools, techniques and frameworks so clients can achieve positive and sustaining results from their innovating activities.

My personal journey has been varied, challenging but full of fun and learnings. This has taken me to live and work in Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Malaysia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, USA, Australia, and recently eleven years in Singapore, starting up businesses, turning them around or simply accelerating them and achieving their footprint within the world.

In mid 2008 I moved back to Switzerland from Singapore and presently focus my time between Asia and Europe for this innovation practice and its related sister company (www.hocaconsulting.com) that focuses upon related subjects important to growing organisations capability in today’s world. I work and move between my preferred bases of Switzerland and Singapore.

Innovation as a source for our growth fascinates me. I hope I can share some of this passion with you here on this site.
