Billie Carn
Artist, Academic, Maverick, Polymath, Catalyst, Humanitarian, Explorer and Executor of Ideas
Billie Carn is the Founder/Chief Maverick at Maverick Wisdom. She is the author and illustrator of Maverick Wisdom, which shares insights and stories from her research on disruptive enterprising maverick innovators who challenge the status quo in their industries.
Billie is a former children’s nurse/lecturer who went from taking care of sick kids to taking care of business. Care, she believes, is the essence that enables humans to live, love and build organizations that push humanity forward, and impact multiple bottom lines.
Billie’s evolution from children’s nurse to explorer of different thinkers to entrepreneur has given her a unique perspective. She combines curiosity, play, data, and novel different thinking to strategize the most innovative ways to challenge convention. Along the way she reinvents how work is done to bring creative problem solving to life, because to Billie innovation without execution is just an idea.
