Originally trained as a lawyer, Sean spent five years conducting white collar securities enforcement investigations before pivoting into the world of design. During more than a decade at IDEO, Sean co-founded IDEO’s Design & Legal Innovation practice, where he led engagements with law firms, in-house legal departments, and government clients.

Sean holds an undergraduate degree from Columbia University, a law degree from Georgetown, and attended Massachusetts College of Art & Design. For fun, he writes long books that no one reads and designs fake maps.

Virginia is a blend of right and left brain, with a passion to help organizations and individuals unlock their potential. At IDEO, Virginia partnered with organizations to introduce, practice, and scale new mindsets and capabilities. She was also a Talent Director at IDEO working on a number of organizational design and development projects ranging from DEI initiatives to the overhaul of the performance management process to align with shifting business objectives.

Prior to IDEO, Virginia was with the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, where she developed and delivered training curriculum for MBAs, Executives, and clients on topics such as Innovation, Design, and Leadership. Earlier in her career, she led University and Campus Recruiting efforts at BCG in both the Boston and San Francisco office.
