Who are WeOur Global Network

The “Work Hard, Play Hard, Do Good, Travel Well, Make it Better” All-Star Network

No matter how great your tools, techniques or technology, when it comes down to top performing companies, it really is about the people.

Futureproofing ; Next founders Andrea Kates and Sean Moffitt have built a practice & community of inspiring change agents, global thought leaders and passionate collaborators across the innovation world.  

We’ll never aspire to be the biggest, but we are gunning to be the most passionate, experienced and genuine innovation partner you can find. Work with us, or perhaps even join us on our quest.

F:N"s FOUNDERS

F:N founders Andrea Kates and Sean Moffitt have combined decades of experience, having led six separate companies across over 300 global clients.

They’ve delivered winning corporate innovation, entrepreneurial & intrapreneurial wisdom and board room credibility & foresight.

  • iScale – scaling company innovation, end-to-end innovation process, lean startup, Silicon Valley agile methods , leadership & team development, business model innovation and experimentation
