About
I founded the Wearable Technology Practice at Accenture and lead day-to-day operations. In 18 months, the Wearable Practice has grown to include three Fortune 100 clients and several hundred Community of Practice members. My responsibilities include oversight of R&D, business development, sales, delivery and thought leadership.
I've co-authored a patent on Augmented Reality Safety Glasses, led the development of a ground-breaking Google Glass medical Proof of Concept for Philips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssldTFWBv3E) and written the whitepaper "Putting Wearables to Work in the Enterprise (http://www.accenture.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/PDF/Accenture-Putting-Wearable-Displays-to-Work-in-the-Enterprise.pdf).
In 2006, I worked as a developer to build a technology solution for a Wearable shirt prototype known as the LifeShirt.
