Strategist | Creator | Connector | Problem-solver | Innovator My professional experience straddles writing, design and leadership. As a writer, I've authored books and videos that have launched careers, written highly successful fundraising campaigns, and generated marketing copy for Fortune 100 companies and startups alike. I'm able to add a lively, natural-yet-sophisticated and always concise and clear voice to concepts of varying complexity. As a leader, I've been a founder, creative director, and course designer, winning awards and loyal stakeholders, colleagues, and followers in each. I excel in situations that require solid "instincts"—which is to say the wisdom and insight that comes with experience, and the willingness to take risks. As a designer, I've worked on a diverse array of projects, from Hollywood tentpole features films all the way to startup websites. I've designed software, brand identities, animation, visual effects, graphics and logos, documents, presentations, and entire courses.

For over three decades I have helped build and scale global businesses that deliver positive human, financial and planetary impact. For almost 20 years I was a leader at Accenture helping build and scale both Accenture's global outsourcing business and the new businesses / acquisitions (M&A) group that grew into Accenture Digital or now called Accenture Song. I have owned and helped scale a portfolio of businesses that focus on revenue growth and global expansion with a unique focus on conscious leadership and culture. Since 2019, I have been an advisor of Alternative Investments at a prominent international single-family office based in California, where I have supported multiple strategic investments. I provide advisory services to the Principal on investment strategy, global macroeconomic trends, portfolio construction and asset allocation for alternative investment portfolios. Additionally, I serve as a member of the Investment Committee. Currently I am the Chief Commercial Officer for Verses AI and responsible for the Go-To-Market and Sales capabilities of the company. I provide strategies to maximize overall revenue in collaboration with the executive leadership team and serve as both an internal and market facing leader working closely with key customers and partners. Outside of work I have been engaged in deep Men's work for over 10 years and in 2023 became a certified End-of-Life Doula helping those who are in the final stage of life utilizing a more sacred and wholistic approach. I also enjoy yoga, hiking, playing music and spending time with my family in Santa Barbara, CA.

Dan Mapes is Founder and President of VERSES AI (www.verses.ai)(CBOE NEO exchange: VERS). VERSES has developed a new type of AI called "Active Inference" AI. Gartner calls this "First Principles AI". This AI provides a direct path to a SAFER form of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Active Inference is a form of Natural Intelligence because it is founded on the "Free Energy Principle" which is how sentience emerges in all living things. It is based on the breakthrough research of the world's leading neuroscientist, Dr. Karl Friston, who is Chief Scientist of VERSES. Search under "Active Inference", "Free Energy Principle", "Dr. Karl Friston" VIDEO SUMMARY (https://www.verses.ai/year-in-ai-2023-video) Dan is also Founder and Director of THE SPATIAL WEB FOUNDATION enabling a new Spatial Internet based on the HyperSpace Transaction Protocol - HSTP (Spatialwebfoundation.org) (IEEE Standard P2874). The Spatial Web enables Active Inference AGI to be networked and decentralized globally. This global network functions as an AI ecosystem leading to an ever-evolving "Collective Intelligence". Applications can range from the very general (Climate Management, etc,) to the very specific (individual health and education applications, etc.) which can be developed by individuals, businesses or governments anywhere. "Collective Intelligence" Summary (https://www.verses.ai/rd-blog/executive-summary-designing-ecosystems-of-intelligence-from-first-principles) Dan co-authored the best-selling book - The Spatial Web - and is often a keynote speaker on the impact of AI, Metaverse, Blockchains and the Spatial Web on business and society. Dan was awarded the Flood Fellowship for his PhD studies at UC Berkeley with C.West Churchman (Applied Systems Theory) and Erich Jantsch (Evolutionary Systems Design). He left after two years to apply what he had learned by starting his first company. He is an avid sailor, diver and mountain biker who is also committed to a sustainable environment.
