Chair of the People Centered Internet. I am honored to take the baton from Vint Cerf, our founding chair, and feel a great sense of stewardship for the foundation he has laid. People must be at the heart of the Internet which can be an Internet of the People, by the People and for the People. I co-founded the People Centered Internet with Vint Cerf so that all can have access to the opportunities that are made possible when people are connected. I deeply believe that people can connect to thrive.

With a passionate founding team, we created the Impact Network in 2017 and work closely with the IEEE Industry Connections Social Impact Measurement which I chair. We are incorporating the voice of the people and the voice of the community which we believe is vital in any measurement of social impact in order that the outcomes be sustainable.

I joined the 200,000 member Health Occupation Students of America/Future Health Professionals as point person for Global Network Outreach. As co-founder of the California Health MRC – Medical Reserve Corps – I am pioneering youth engagement in assuring a healthy future for generations to come.

In my final role as Socio Technical Lead within a four-year project for the US Dept. of Defense to look at the Future of Health, I was the subject matter expert for Networked Improvement Communities and designed Roundtables for government and community leaders to come together to devise the Healthy Community Collaboratives of America, The leaders we convened work with budgets which represent over 50% of all spending in the US on Healthcare.

As a pioneer in Customer Relationship Management and the shift in the US from healthcare to health, by listening to the ideas and aspirations of the people and evolving communities into hubs of inspiration and motivation: action oriented learning-by-experience.
