Tom Foth

About Tom Foth

Tom is an award-winning innovator with 49 years of experience. At age 10, Kimberly-Clark filed a patent application for Tom\'s easy open envelope and he never looked back, amassing 46 patents with four pending across a broad set of domains. Often described as a unicorn, Tom is equally conversant in technology, innovation, and business value creation.\"Innovation that does not create value only creates noise.\" Tom\'s approach to innovation is driven by a total systems thinking approach that starts with both the prospective user and prospective buyer of the innovation (which are some times the same person), through creating interfaces to process and systems that minimize the introduction of friction, to implementation and ultimately value creation. Tom welcomes opportunities to help clients understand how technology and innovation can create new unrealized business value.
