Twitter| LinkedIn| Facebook
Mr. Lieberman is a force of convergence who has successfully piloted many new products and programs into the world, resulting in multiple billion dollar markets and multiple new approaches to existing situations. He works with an extremely broad range of entities from industry to academia to government.
As a three-decade innovation veteran with a bias for action, his combination of extremely clear focus and unusual flexibility result in the ability to integrate diverse resources and create badly needed synergy for today’s complex realities.
Howard spent fifteen years working at two of the most innovative companies in history, Bose and Apple Corporations, and an additional fifteen years as a founder, consultant and academician in both business and technical areas. In all of these situations the dominant contribution was innovation, which was achieved differently every time.
After completing university programs in both Physics and Electrical Engineering, Howard Lieberman has accumulated a large set of innovation-relevant capabilities including product development, project management, digital marketing, strategic planning, founding and managing new entities, coaching, and perhaps most importantly the ability to connect the diverse set of players always present in current innovation scenarios.
