Seemingly impossible problems could be solved by software and other computational systems that learn and change by integrating new data. These evolving systems should transform work and accelerate computational technology’s integration into all economic sectors. The adoption of learning systems could prove more momentous than the introduction of the internet, transforming all economic sectors, including healthcare and financial services.
Concentrated computational infrastructure could allow every device to harness the power of supercomputers, enabling continuous, data-driven improvements on the software side. Best-in-class solutions are likely to accrue winner-take-most share in each vertical, as customer lockin drives superior economics. End user productivity should drive pricing, and should improve continuously based on data-informed solutions. Legacy software and hardware providers are likely to be vulnerable.
Humans could be enmeshing a constellation of connected devices that will inform us, entertain us, relate us, protect us, and mediate our perceptions of the world. Device constellations likely will be the dominant software development platforms, providing primary end-point distribution and productivity benefits. Legacy computation manufacturers and operating system providers could be in peril, along with media, entertainment, and content production companies with business models optimized for legacy distribution platforms.
Digital wallets allow anyone with a connected device to transact money instantly, transforming commercial and financial experiences. Consumers hold the power of a bank branch in their pockets and demand wholesale pricing for many financial transactions, changing their relationships with financial service providers. We believe that trillions in annual cash transactions will be digitized, presenting a data monetization opportunity roughly equivalent to that of Google Search. Digital wallets could become the point-ofcontact for a variety of digital services. Traditional financial services institutions could be at risk.
Internet of things could transform the distribution of media, providing end-users with new ways to interface with the world and capturing data-streams that enable the evolution of new business models and services. Consumer habits could be modified significantly and monetized in new ways. Voice interfaces should take share of e-commerce, digital mirrors should become fashion and exercise interfaces, and the age of linear TV could end. Digital distribution platforms are likely to accrue power as they promote private-label content and services.
All money and contracts could migrate to open-source protocols that enable and verify digital scarcity and proof-of-ownership. The financial ecosystem could be forced to reconfigure to take advantage of the capabilities these technologies afford, potentially leading to more transparency, fewer capital and regulatory controls, and significantly lower contract execution costs. More of everything could become money-like: fungible, liquid, quantifiable; every corporate entity and consumer will have to adapt; corporate structures might be called into question; every sector could be impacted.
The convergence of robotics, battery technologies, and artificial intelligence is likely to collapse the cost structure of transportation.
The convergence of next generation DNA sequencing, artificial intelligence, and gene therapies should significantly improve health care.
The convergence of APIs, social platforms, and block-chain technology could disintermediate financial ecosystems.
"In the early 90s, Thomas developed a team and a software product for the telecom industry and led the acquisition of his company SRG, by Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL). At Consolidated, Thomas was instrumental in successfully building and scaling the Software-as-a-Service business for the competitive telecom industry, prior to the acquisition of Consolidated by McLeodUSA (NASDAQ: MCLD) in 1997. His ability to innovate and deliver practical solutions were instrumental to our success."
"Thomas helped raise institutional capital during the company’s growth stages, restructure the company and created management carve-outs to incent and motivate management and employees, all of which were key to turning Fidelia around. His advice and support were critical in Fidelia’s successful acquisition by Network General-NetScout (NASDAQ: NTCT). His energy and dedication were immeasurable."
"SixthSenseMedia (formerly RateIntegration) developed a real-time mobile marketing software solution for mobile operators. Thomas led an investment in the company following a downturn in the telecom industry. He worked very closely with my team helping to drive new sales and business development, leading to the company’s acquisition by Evolving (NASDAQ:EVOL) in 2015.”
"Thomas led the merger of SixthSenseMedia and Evolving (NASDAQ: EVOL) and was named CEO of the combined company. Based on his twenty-five-year track record, he was highly regarded in the telecom industry and helped create strategic partnerships and drive new customer sales. During his tenure, the company’s revenues grew while operations were streamlined resulting in significant improvements in profitability."
" Business Logic Systems was a leading provider of subscriber value management and analytics solutions for mobile operators.

He helped increase overall market traction and sales by personally engaging customer and partner executives with our global sales teams."
"Thomas led the acquisition of Lumata by Evolving, where I worked closely with him to create a product vision and strategy for mobile digital consumer engagement. He offered me excellent advice and guidance, regarding the integration of the teams and product capabilities related to two additional acquisitions. The new product offering was successfully launched and gained market traction leading to the company's acquisition in 2021"
