My special interest areas are frontier science and impact innovations. I am passionate about the creation of social fiction and societal impact by applying purpose-driven tech innovations to the world’s biggest challenges. I see my role in the transformation of business excellence into the non-profit sector and in the connection of pioneering ideas to power, knowledge and funding. My dream: turning mega challenges of our times into opportunities for future progress and prosperity in society by creating novel value chains capable to bring better lives for the billions. Also I’d love to change public perception about the capabilities of the earth by using the disruptive power of innovation. From background I am holding master degrees in Business Management and Genetic Engineering from Kitakyushi University (Japan), Bloomington University (USA), and the University of Greenwich (London, UK).
