Dan Toma's Linkedin Analytics

I'm an innovation thought leader and the author Innovation Accounting (BIS, 2021) and The Corporate Startup (Vakmedien, 2017). I come from an entrepreneurial background. I've been involved with technology startups across the world and is an innovation community leader in Europe. Puzzled by the questions ‘why are innovative products mainly launched by startups?’, I focus on enterprise innovation-lead transformation - specifically on the changes blue-chip organizations need to make to allow for new ventures to be built in a corporate setting. In this capacity I had the pleasure of working with companies like Deutsche Telekom, Bosch, Jaguar Land Rover, Bayer, John Deere or Allianz. Being a big advocate of the ecosystem approach to innovation, I also worked with various government bodies, in Asia and Europe, helping developing national innovation ecosystems and implement national innovation strategies. The work experience gathered from the public and private sector has been translated into various experiential courses that I had delivered for universities such as Royal Academy of Engineering or the University of Applied Science Rhein-Main. I holds a dual degree MBA from Bradford University and TiasNimbas Business School while being certified lean startup acceleration specialist by Columbia University through the Lean Launchpad program.
