MJ is a Cyborg Anthropologist and founder of Causeit, Inc. who works with companies to develop innovation programs that enable leaders and organization to “be the future.” He has a talent for simplifying complexity and translating technology into human terms.

Through a series of case studies and interactive journey mapping exercises, we will show that developing a strong customer experience accomplishes both simultaneously.

Talent: Inspire and Align – Anna Liotta / Resultance, Inc.
