Brian has amazing ears. Like the sensitive elephant in Horton Hears a Who, his favorite Dr. Seuss character, Brian homes in on the faint voices floating just below the surface noise. He draws out the emerging idea, then shapes it into language that moves people.

His all-star listening skills help Brian spot the pattern in seemingly unrelated activities. The core truth hiding in the details. The real challenge we need to solve. He combs through pop culture, history, literature and business trends to reveal the fundamental insight that will fuel a killer strategy.

To Brian, making business a life-affirming force in the world is the soul of corporate responsibility. He’s a master at helping purposeful brands claim their places—and find their voices—as heroes in the story of a brighter future.
