About Elizabeth Blair
A decade\'s worth of experience in corporate innovation, I have found my passion in leveraging business model tools, design thinking, and lean startup methods to create sustainable innovation that positively impacts customers and the company. I have worked with executives and in corporate innovation teams to uncover customer needs, test hypotheses, implement pilots in order to ultimately learn how to scale a new business. The best part of my job is working with people with diverse thinking. I get energy from the autonomy to make hard choices and build relationships across the organization in order to gain buy-in and garner action. If you talked to my colleagues, they would describe me as creative, a systems thinker, positive, detail-oriented, and poised under pressure. Interesting facts. Certified Experience Economy Expert. Language skills include conversational fluency in French & Italian and survival level German & Arabic. Former entertainer at Walt Disney World. Avid racer
