Course Leader Bio

As an MIT research scientist, I worked on the Apollo Program.  I was also a founder of the MIT Venture Forum, and co-founded and built a technology-based company called Phoenix Controls that was sold to a Fortune 500 company.  I’ve been on the faculty at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and served as a guest lecturer in Switzerland and Israel.  I’m the author of two books on commercial innovation and growth, and working on a third.
