One of the most vexing challenges many businesses face is how to grow. Dr. Philippe Bouissou’s talk introduces a new universal, simple, prescriptive methodology to grow any business. This new way of cutting the Gordian growth knot emerged from Dr. Bouissou's discovery a few years ago. The breakthrough came from earning his Ph.D. in non-linear physics in chaos theory, working directly for Steve Jobs at Apple, and learning valuable lessons from his time as a successful Venture Capitalist. That discovery profoundly changed how he looks at any business and how he changes its growth trajectory. Best-selling author of Aligning the Dots, host of The Alignment Zone TV series, speaker, growth expert, venture capitalist, CEO, and entrepreneur Dr. Philippe Bouissou has worked in Silicon Valley for 33 years.
He currently runs Blue Dots Partners, a Palo Alto-based management consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses grow faster. He founded and ran Apple’s eCommerce business and grew its revenue from zero to $350 million in less than one year under Steve Jobs (about 20% of Apple’s revenue today). Inspired by his time with Jobs, Philippe's accomplishments continued to skyrocket, including investing $43 million as a venture capitalist with double-digit returns. Philippe served on 23 Boards of Directors and led over 140 management-consulting projects.
Philippe graduated from the prestigious École Normale Supérieure in Paris and holds a BS in Mathematics, an MS in Physics, and a Ph.D. in non-linear physics in chaos theory.
And he happens to be an approachable, nice guy,
