Make Meaning

Meaning is creating software that removes inefficiencies to unlock real value. Meaning is building tangible solutions beyond IRRs and Pitch Decks. Meaning is transforming shared values into valuable shares. Meaning is elevating others to become the best version of themselves.

”I enjoy building forward-thinking companies, well-executed technology products with impactive management teams. I am a pragmatist with the leadership acumen to know you don’t always make the right decisions, you make decisions turn out right.”
— Mark Chambers

Think Glocal

Globalization has spread knowledge and technology across borders. It took 1,000 years for the invention of paper to spread from China to Europe. Understanding “Glocal” (global/local) nuances will be critical to the success of technologies shaping our new digital economies.

“The world has become extremely integrated; innovation now spreads through complex global channels, I’ve chosen collaboration over competition. I am committed to the continued forging of strong partnerships and broad innovation that become key enablers in ultimately improving people’s lives.” — Mark Chambers
