John McCabe

I have explored the intersection of technology, society, and design for over two decades by meshing the physical and digital, blending the raw and the refined, and catalyzing equitable cultures of collaboration.
I lead global teams designing award-winning digital product and platform experiences within IBM’s AI and Data Science Organization. My past endeavors include pioneering mission-critical robotic manufacturing concepts for NASA, founding a non-profit that nurtures creative leadership through inclusive educational experiences, and directing an academic consultancy specializing in envisioning and prototyping conceptual multi-touchpoint experiences for clients. 
During the past 20 years, I directly contributed to more than $100M of applied research partnerships and product development with BMW, NASA, Reebok, Disney, U.S. Space Force, Dell, Google, and others. My teams and their efforts received 36 international honors and awards for multidisciplinary product development, foresight scenarios, and startup ventures. During my diverse design-infused adventure, I have been driven to scale humanized innovations that blend intelligent services, memorable experiences, and amplifying technologies.
