About Us

During an extended consulting engagement at Intel when Andy Grove was its CEO, Lionel conceived and introduced ValueMap and the ValueMap Process to the company. The method was inspired by Intel’s strong value-based culture, further developed with several executives, and successfully applied to help find and evaluate business opportunities for the company.  Since then, he has used the technique in his own consulting practice with many clients for strategic planning and for launching new ventures in the increasingly complex digital environment.

Lionel has more than twenty years experience as a business consultant, often with Fortune 500 and other technology-based companies.  He also served as CEO of two high-tech ventures in the oil & gas industry, both of which were successfully exited by sales to larger companies.   And he has been a founder of six companies, one of which went public.  Lionel holds BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from MIT and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
