Design Strategy & Innovation Leader | Former IDEO Partner
A senior leader passionate about helping individuals, teams and organizations transform in pursuit of growth, innovation and impact. Strong portfolio of value creation from an approach that balances the creativity of design thinking with strategic rigor; this generative approach is inclusive, iterative and responsible. Considerable experience leading a creative professional services firm. Recognized for business performance, market insight and servant leadership. “As a leader of our studio, Rebecca provides reassurance that there is a steady, strategic, fair, business-minded guide of the ship. This is really easy to say, and really hard to do. She is responsive, inclusive but also discerning in the types of activities we should take on, and very willing to roll up her sleeves to collaborate. For younger women in the studio, she provides a model of how to work and parent which is beyond valuable.“ — Director, IDEO Cambridge
