What is a CxO?

For the last many decades I’ve honed my hybrid skills as a Founder, CEO, CMO, CSO, CDO, CCO in entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial manifestations. So think of me as… Part Strategist. Part Futurist. Part Technologist. Part Data Monkey. Part Design Thinker. Part Global Growth Hacker. And… through and through an Innovator.

At Lux + Imagine Labs we are architecting complex adaptive systems that unlock value and enable companies to cross chasms and experience powerful Growth Leaps™, by applying first principles and design thinking, honing strategic focus and maximizing creativity to connect disparate and convergent dots in novel ways.

We specialize in brand ideation, platform and content development; development and maintenance of a flexible, clear strategic plan; identification, exploration, and development of trends and synergies; analysis and evaluation of investment opportunities, new partnerships, lines of business and potential exits; all with an eye towards unlocking value.

Over our many decades, we’ve helped grow and empower innovative global clients like: Trailer Park, Red Bull, XM Sirius, Alliance Data, Air Miles, Loyalty One, BMW Mini, FedEx, Porsche, Air France, Holt Renfrew, BMO, RBC, NBA, Players Racing, NFL, CHUM Television, MuchMusic, MTV, Viacom, HBO, Universal, Sony, Nike, Westmont Hospitality Group, Diageo, Molson, Labatt, Warner Bros, Corus Entertainment, Great Eagle and many more.

As I sit in my office, I’m inundated daily with incredible feats of technological innovation and change. It’s hard to keep up. The pace is astounding. I can’t even imagine what the unfolding world will look like for my now thirteen-year-old son – even when I pull from my wildest science-fiction fantasies. My job is to help brands connect the dots in this rapidly shifting landscape – to look at and understand the connective tissue for clues, predict where the market is going and how we can get there. In this sense, I’m a futurist. I view disparate trends and concepts and piece together how they will collide and mashup to become something new, disruptive, and compelling. I write about this world.
