Our Team

Stephen Shapiro

Innovation Evangelist and Founder

A frequenter of “skeptics conventions,” Stephen applies critical thinking to everything he does.  Instead of accepting conventional wisdom, he challenges it and looks for what really works.  This “drive for the truth” has led him to a unique and counterintuitive perspective on innovation; one that can be adopted by any organization.
