Bio

Participation
1

I'm in the third act of a 40-year career as an engineer, technology executive and management consultant. In industry, I built and led engineering teams at Oracle Corporation and several start-ups. In 18 years as a Partner at the Boston Consulting Group, I worked with major organizations on innovation, goal setting, collaborative ways of working and applying technology to create competitive advantage.

I'm committed to the cause of preserving democracy, both as critical to achieve social justice and an essential platform for long-term altruistic programs to create impact. I serve on the Board of Directors for iCivics (iCivics.org), the leading organization that promotes and enables civics Education in the United States.

How others can help me

I hope to better understand how Civics Education may support aspects of the EA mission – as a scalable, cost-effective input to preserving democracy, and more broadly in creating more engaged citizens who may take up other specific causes.

How I can help others

I've provided pro-bono consulting to EA organizations on topics such as risk management and goal-setting. I've provided career guidance to those considering consulting as a path to advance their causes. I'd be happy to connect with others if I can be helpful.

Thanks, Sean -- does indeed seem relevant. Will look deeper.
