wennov8 - from innovation to impact 

Helping founders, innovation organizations and startup ecosystems transform emerging technologies into
commercial success, sustainable growth and measurable business value. 

​

​For more than 30 years, I have worked in industries repeatedly transformed by technology, disruption, and uncertainty. From telecommunications to manufacturing, automotive, energy, water, and startup ecosystems, I have experienced firsthand how organizations succeed or struggle when confronted with major technological and market shifts.

​

Throughout my career, one lesson has remained constant: innovation alone is not enough. Great technologies, promising startups, and ambitious transformation programs only create value when they successfully translate into customer adoption, business growth, and measurable impact.

​

Today, I work with innovation organizations, startup ecosystems, founders, and business leaders to help bridge that gap between innovation and commercialization. My work spans startup acceleration, ecosystem development, commercialization strategy, founder coaching, technology adoption, and leadership coaching in times of change.

​

I am particularly passionate about helping organizations build the structures, programs, and capabilities that allow innovation to thrive. Whether supporting founders or advising leaders facing disruption, my focus is always the same: turning innovation into sustainable business success.

​

What I bring is a combination of operator experience, commercialization expertise, ecosystem building, and a practical understanding of how emerging technologies create business value in the real world.

​

Innovation matters. Commercialization matters more.
