Hey, Digital Experience Managers…
Unlock Your Edge
Build cultures where innovation isn’t a buzzword — it’s a habit.
Nothing kills innovation faster than silos, misalignment, and pressure to perform.
Modern managers of product, design, and engineering teams are asked to wear several hats… strategic aligner, innovation driver, agile operator, empathetic coach, and culture champion. But most are doing it without a roadmap, development, support, or community.
You’re not imagining the pressure.
Without support, trust erodes. Without strategy, confusion grows.
You see it every day:
The frustration or confusion teams feel when initiatives change.
The blank stares when you ask, “How does this connect to our mission?”
The product shipped has...er... shifted from what customers actually need.
And it’s not just you feeling the impact.
When managers are overburdened, teams can disengage too. Innovation slows. Culture weakens. And customers feel it.
Companies see 65% more revenue when they invest in cultivating cultures of innovation.
The Manager’s Edge
Cultivating a culture of innovation isn’t about moonshots, it’s about driving alignment around fresh ideas to transform and differentiate, rooted in customer value. But if innovation is so important, why do so many teams struggle to make it stick?

FOUNDERS STORY
Most software startups don’t make it. Teams burn out, managers are overwhelmed, and culture gets sacrificed in the scramble to ship fast and scale faster. Innovation becomes a buzzword instead of a daily practice.
Some of my earliest career moments showed me what actually makes the difference in cultivating innovation—and what kills it. I’ve created DX Collective to bring those lessons full circle and equip today’s managers with what they need to lead product teams that thrive, not just survive.
Teams that build exceptional digital experiences aren’t lucky—they’re led well.
15+ years leading tech, product, and experience innovation
Led experimental operations at NASA, improving national airspace systems and saving billions
Led global research to launch 0→1 human-centered products at Workday—now used by 40+ million users worldwide
Deep background and applied knowledge in cognitive, social, and neuroscience psychology to design systems that work for real people
If you believe your team has more potential than what your current culture is unlocking, let’s build the edge that brings it to life.
