GOVERNOR DAVID PATERSON

As the 55th Governor of the great state of New York, Governor Paterson has made a habit of a lifetime of the “first in a lot of firsts.” He was New York’s first African-American governor, and the first Vice Chair of the National Democratic Party. Oh, and he is legally blind, thus making him the first governor of a U.S. State with a disability. For circa 25 years, he served as a Legislator, Minority Leader, Lieutenant Governor, and ultimately, Governor during a truly illustrious career. Legend. (The Governor’s biography, appropriately entitled “Black, Blind, & In-Charge” crafted & edited by Dr. Mills, can also be readily found on Amazon).

GEOFF VULETA

A proud Kiwi, a New York identity for many years, and a world-class leader & “shape-shifter” in consumer product innovation and “big game hunter” in creating/mixing growth generation elixirs. Formerly CEO of the iconic “Campaign Palace” in NZ, Geoff decamped to NYC to found & lead Fahrenheit-212, which became the “Peak XV of Innovation” globally in conjuring up major, revenue-busting, CPG product “ah hah” moments for about every consumer brand that matters.

DR. KATHRYN RITCHIE

Over many years, Kathryn has brought “the rubber that hits the road muscle to conventional cutesy strategy speak” to a range of international companies. Based in the US, but of NZ extraction and Aussie sensibilities, Kathryn is the Founder/CEO of the “Ignition Institute,” and the architect of a (very) clever strategic design/implementation process. Kathryn also Chairs NABU.org, an organization that drives literacy in developing countries. A gifted & accomplished “senior room” facilitator.

DR. CYNTHIA BARRETT

Miami-based, Dr. Cynthia has built her “wellness couture” into a renowned consulting clinic providing innovative expert advice in conditioning, nutrition, and optimizing wellness, specifically in the treatment of chronic health ailments when conventional medicine/treatments fail to deliver results. She has a boatload of both passion for, and skill in her craft. There is “driven.” And then there is Dr. Cynthia.

GREG EMBLETON

When Greg took over as the CEO of an Australian-based international data/technology group, his opening statement to me in our first meeting was… “I hear great things about you. You’re fired.” And so began a beautiful relationship. Greg has held GM/CIO roles for myriad pre-eminent companies, including TabCorp, Amcor & Novell. He is currently Chairman of MEECO, an Australian/Belgian-based technology group which is about to “own” the personal data marketplace.

MIRA TZUR

Actress, theatre & film producer, media/social influencer, supermodel, and a former Israeli counterintelligence agent… (and therefore, Mira self-nominates as the “Head of Security” for our “Collective”). Mira has also forged a very successful international business/entrepreneurial career, as the representative for, or the “face of,” L’Oreal, Samsung, Sony, Citibank, Reebok, et, al. She also knows about 84% of anyone worth knowing on the planet. I know. I have met most of them. (…her “How To…” book, “Anonymously Famous,” published by the House of Fitzpatrick & Mills, is readily available on Amazon).

DIANA FLETCHER

Diana hails from Canada, and she flies our FinTech flag, high & proud. And what an awesome flag it is. Diana co-founded and is the President of the TC Group of Companies which is a bona fide giant in the loyalty & partner solutions pantheon.

She sits on the Forbes Financial Council, the by-invitation only “Mount Olympus” for FinTech god-like beings…

MATT GARRETT

Ensconced in the vast labyrinth of his Connecticut HQ, Matt Garrett, Founder/Chief Wizard of “Strata Analytics,” peers into the near future to develop predictive insights, strategies & opportunities across asset classes and geographies for investors & managers. Matt develops & unleashes the power of novel approaches to analytics & idea generation. He is not exactly a unicorn in this domain. But, he is a genuine “analytics horse-whisperer.”

TREVOR MATTHEWS

If you meet someone from circa ages 30 plus, and they say they work in insurance, anywhere on the planet, and they don’t know of / have not heard of Trevor Matthews, then they are probably a plumber. Or a nuclear physicist. Or anything else. Trevor is a bona fide insurance industry “Hall of Famer-Legend Status.” He has been the CEO of major, publicly-listed insurance/financial services companies in Australia, Canada, Japan, Scotland & England (…and yes, distinguishing between “Scotland & England “absolutely matters. Particularly to the Scots). Since returning to OZ, Trevor devotes his time to diverse premium-grade Directorships; Chair of AMP Life, Hound, and FNZ APAC, and Board gigs with Tokio Marine Asia, BUPA Australia & Prudential Malaysia Berhad, amongst them. An absolute gem of a man. Always up for a coffee on the beach near his Balmoral, Sydney fiefdom.
