You found me.

I love technology and believe that the Internet is deeply impacting mankind. I got started on the Net before there was a web browser, founded a couple of Web companies, led eBay's Platform Solutions Group in Europe, launched a consulting firm to help entrepreneurs with their strategy & operations and invested into startups. But most of all – I simply love to do cool stuff on the Web and work with great people.

I am now creating and heading up Mozilla's Open Innovation Group, where I work with an incredibly talented team on inventing the future of the Web. I frequently speak and write about Open Innovation, entrepreneurship & technology and mentor entrepreneurs at TechStars, Seedcamp, The Unreasonable Institute and many other places. Further I find myself consulting Fortune 500 companies on the ideas and practical aspects of Open Innovation.

I live with my wife Jane and our horse & two dogs in sunny California. When I don't work you can find me running, teaching pro-runners Pilates or preparing espresso shots.

Life is good.
