Will Handzel

I consider myself a little unusual in that I enjoy learning through fail fast/learn faster moments—and failure always hurts, by the way. But the pain is worth it as the lessons from failure are transformative and have given me, and the teams I have led, unfair advantages that we leveraged to achieve success in highly ambiguous and, often, seemingly impossible, situations. A constant through all of these moments has been my ability to build and inspire high output teams to achieve more than they thought possible. I believe strongly in, and leverage daily, the power of Design Thinking and other leading innovation methodologies to guide the development of desirable, feasible and viable products and services for our users. My background is varied: but always centered on providing exponential value from the effort, lifting up the people I am working with and enjoying the journey. I enjoy setting goals and achieving them, but my overriding goal is to unleash and maximize the creative potential in all of us.
