James Basnett

I am the CEO of Shape. We use 3D and Augmented Reality to build next generation NFT content. I am also the founder of Answer Intelligence, a smart technology company focused on using data to build the future of retail, healthcare and real estate. Previously I managed an innovation lab called Momentus. We focused on building R&D and emerging technology solutions for retail, healthcare and media that was acquired and now a part of the Cognizant family. We developed disruptive products for Verizon, Lululemon, Groupon, Goldman Sachs, Apple, Kohl's, Clover, Reddit, and Shell. We also launched an endless aisle Smart Mirror that has been installed in many fortune 500 retailers. Prior to that, I was the VP Strategy at Medeo, the world's first telemedicine platform that connects patients via and doctors via video using public healthcare networks. I developed the digital channels for market entry and doubled month over month growth. I like to think of myself as a proven leader that applies a wealth of skills in innovation, business development, market strategy, go-to-market development and team building in fast-growth environments. Experience delivering on business and P&L commitments, and successfully developing people and organizations in the following business areas: transformation, innovation, integration, and marketing. I am passionate about helping creative people expand their capacity in a technology-driven world, including economic empowerment, entrepreneurship education, energy, talent acquisition/placement and moonshots.I am the CEO of Shape.
