Jonathan Propp

I bring 25 years of experience in high technology companies to my work as a consultant in new product development. I have been involved in every aspect of product development, from voice of the customer to manufacturing NPI. I enjoy helping companies develop their creative potential and bring great new products and services to the marketplace.

I also teach about new product development MBA programs in the Bay Area. I enjoy watching my students realize that they have the capability to innovate given the right tools.

I enjoy working with the people who are inventing the future, moving their companies and our society forward.
