Back in Your Inbox — and More Intentional Than Ever

Hey friends —

It’s been a while. If you’re new here, welcome to The Intentional Innovator. And if you’ve been here since the early days — thank you. Your presence in this community means more than you know.

After taking a step back from writing, I’ve spent the last few months reflecting on what I want this space to be — and more importantly, how I want it to be a resource for you.

There’s been so much turbulence and change in our world these past few years — let’s be honest, it’s almost like each week has some sort of unfathomable yet here-we-are situation. But one thing has stayed consistent: my belief in the power of thoughtful, courageous, intentional leadership of people who decide to show up. And showing up these days means taking the initiative to follow through on something that you feel could impact lives — and you can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve never been more passionate about helping innovators and changemakers tell their story, build their own meaningful networks, and connect their vision to opportunities with clarity and impact.

So here’s what you can expect from me moving forward.

Every Sunday, I’ll be sharing:

• Practical ways to build and nurture a powerful, authentic network

• Strategies to get out of your own way and keep building

• Tips on personal brand storytelling (without the cringe)

• Curated resources — books, articles, job openings — that help you keep momentum

• Stories spanning my 15+ years in the health innovation and social impact space, from my adventures connecting and equipping dynamic leaders (e.g. a recent trip to the Aspen Ideas Festival has had things percolating for me that I’ll share soon)

My goal is to make each issue a valuable, energizing nudge forward — whether you’re leading a team, launching something new, or navigating your next chapter.

A quick favor — I’d love to hear from you. What’s one challenge or question you’re sitting with right now when it comes to your own career moves, leadership development, network building, or visibility? Or even if you just want to share a win with me! Hit reply — I read every message.

The next issue drops soon. Until then, I’m glad to be back — and I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you.

With intention,
André
