Tom White is a global executive that delivers value to organizations in entertainment, defense, design, technology, education, and the start- up ecosystem, impacting revenues, growth, and innovation.

He is an award-winning product designer, originally from Lockheed-Martin. Reframing Lockheed’s leadership in product innovation, Tom transformed near-bankrupt Lockheed into the world’s largest defense contractor Lockheed-Martin, with a trillion dollar business pipeline and a strategy that redefined industry best-practices.

Tom raised $1B to launch the Iridium satellite network for Motorola, established market dominance for Motorola Europe, re-built DAF into the fastest growing brand in the European transport market, showed Philips how to launch first-in-category new products, and taught Volvo’s Swedish communication agencies how to create a brand personality.

He reorganized US-based technology and medical design firms to secure their largest contracts ever, growing those businesses and successfully selling four.

Tom created the Master the Pitch Program for The Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI), whose portfolio companies attracted more $500M in revenues and investment on the path to growth and acquisition. He co-created LACI’s Transportation Electrification Partnership, which has grown to a coalition of 100 companies calling for a $150B federal stimulus proposal.

Tom founded The Storytellers Institute to create learning platforms that transform tech innovators into irresistible market leaders.
