About me

Marc has always been drawn to the edge of the map, where something new hums before it has a name. He built his first company in the late 1990s as the internet was turning from novelty into inevitability. He then founded a Californian transformation consultancy that stitched purpose into the DNA of corporations. Along the way he has helped NASA dream aloud, Mattel rethink play, The Rockefeller Foundation strategize impact, and TED spark lessons worth sharing. He has worked with Richard Branson's B-Team, Sara Blakely, Bono's ONE Campaign, The Smithsonian, and more. What threads it together is not the client list but Marc's talent for convening — creating the conditions for people to lean into futures they didn't know they could believe in.
