"As an ambassador of trend, a champion of design, and a cheerleader of possibilities, it was natural for me to want to be a co-chair for this conference. I'm looking forward to a good s-t-r-e-t-c-h expedition into the future of design thinking. The thought leaders at this conference will share unique insights that will help make sense out of today's turbulent and complex business environment.

Winston Churchill said: "Out of intense complexities, intense simplicities emerge." It's time to reframe our thinking to focus on the simple, in order to solve the complex. If we can do that, I believe the possibilities for a better business future are endless. This conference will be a big step in the right direction."
