Charles Bern's Linkedin Analytics

In 2014, I founded PATIO Interactive to help businesses harness the power of new technology. My agency became a leader in creating winning solutions with such technologies as extended reality, digital twins, AI, and computer vision. Both internally and with clients, I preached the importance of "anti-fragility" (see Naseem Taleb) as a guiding principle when building a business. When the pandemic hit, PATIO grew significantly and was able to help our clients adapt, evolve and win despite the chaotic times. In 2021, PATIO was acquired by ASTOUND Group to become ASTOUND Digital. A bit about me: Living at the intersection of technology, strategy and creativity. Making the most of the present while thinking about the future. I am a business and technology strategist passionate about solving real world challenges with cutting edge technology and human-centred design. I self-identify as a creative tech nerd and my MBA helps me efficiently translate cool things into real outcomes. I have built and managed teams to deliver a range of unique tech-forward solutions for companies including HBO, Shoppers Drug Mart, PwC, TD Bank and Converse. ***The thoughts and views I share from my profile are expressly my own!
