M E E T T O M T R I U M P HTom is a speaker, consultant and author who helps companies grow by collaboratively helping them innovate their business and product development.

He’s helped large organizations act nimbly and small companies scale. He’s been a participant in two global technology revolutions—and has been part of some remarkable success stories (and some misfires). He lived aboard an ocean research ship and tended to the mini-sub (Cousteau was on the Board), wrestled in the Olympic trials, and helped oversee the redesign and fabrication of the largest composite hovercraft ever built in the US.

Tom is the author of the book Evolve or Die: Lessons for World-Class Innovation & Creativity.

He resides in North Carolina and is an ultrarunner who envies Tom Hanks’ long run as Forrest Gump.

“Evolve or Die is at once inspiring, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Tom Triumph combines key business

insights with his unique narrative style. The result is a must-read for every business executive.”

—Kartik Hosanagar, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

“Tom Triumph has artfully captured many of the key lessons in the creative process as he shares real-world stories and experiences

across the breadth of science, business, and art and provides simple models to make this all actionable. In a world of increasing complexity,

this book is a perfect reminder for anyone looking to push their own limits and explore their untapped potential.”

—Andy Walshe, Performance Manager, Red Bull Stratos, program designer for the

US Olympic ski and snowboard teams

“The energy in Evolve or Die is the energy of someone who’s lived life fully and has not lost that glimmer of ‘what is possible’ in individuals. Tom takes that energy and gives readers tools and

insights in the manner of sitting down over a cup of joe and going over ‘the important stuff.’ The stuff that matters. Why? Because

as you’ll discover, YOU matter, more than you possibly know. And this book will help you dial in on that special thing that’s you.”

—David Brier, Chief Gravity Defyer, DBDInternational Brand Intervention
