How Jeffrey is building a better working world
“In my role as an innovation leader, I’m helping to drive not just new services, but people initiatives — how we empower our people to creatively solve client problems at the engagement level. I also liaise with the external innovation ecosystem of academics, startups and corporate innovation leaders to discover new services and advance our innovation.”

In 2018, he delivered a talk on blockchain for government tax authorities at the MIT Media Lab as part of the Blockchain in Action summit.
