Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMorris Vanegas is a Principal Consultant in Innovation who blends hands-on engineering, product strategy, and organizational design to convert ambitious ideas into field-ready capabilities. With a decade of experience spanning aerospace, neuroscience, digital fabrication, and enterprise transformation, he has shipped high-stakes systems—from a qualified intra-vehicle spacesuit to a patented portable brain imager—and built the processes that let teams scale those innovations. He designs innovation systems that prioritize learning velocity, clear hypotheses, and pragmatic handoffs so validated concepts survive contact with delivery, governance, and culture. As a makerspace director and community builder, he pairs rapid prototyping with operational rigor, recently deploying sensor networks to improve wildfire resilience in the San Bernardino Mountains. Morris is particularly skilled at integrating R&D, AI, and product teams with executive decision-making to accelerate impact rather than just novelty.
