With 20+ years of business experience, he works with clients and business partners to think disruptively and create next-generation products/solutions powered by emerging technology.

We talk about creating a "Tech for Good" mindset to drive social enterprise/entrepreneurship and building the ecosystem to bring business, technologists, and government together to solve problems. Neil also shares why Moonshots are good but we also need "Earthshots" - solutions to help tackle some of the big problems of our planet and society.
