Accenture has built an incredible team around the metaverse, and I find Tyler to be the prime example. His background in studying film production, founding his own agency, and then moving into the corporate world with Exxon, has given him a well rounded understanding of both creative and business decision making. In this episode, we talk about his personal story and professional perspective.
“I get to wake up every morning and bring a combination of creative leadership, innovative product/experience strategy, brand expertise, and process/operational focus to the most amazing brands and their consumers.
I have the great pleasure to work with companies that are reshaping the way we view and interact with our physical and digital worlds.
Internally I get to learn from and lead some of the most brilliant, creative, strategic, and technologically forward-thinking humans on this planet. It is a true joy.”
-Tyler
