CEO, Institute for Workplace Skills and Innovation

- Post he's proudest of: Resume-Building Tips You Won’t Get From Your Typical Career Counselor
- Why he likes it: "I like readers to feel they have a 'take away' after reading one of my posts. This post started a debate that flowed onto radio in Chicago around encouraging people to take a gap year."
- His current focus: "How educators and local businesses must work collaboratively to equip students with the skills they will need to navigate the 21st century job market. And a special focus on innovation in education and re-inventing high school."
- Before becoming a CEO: "I worked as a chef at the Ritz Hotel in London. I was the 'poissonnier,' more commonly referred to as the fish chef."
