Ken Perry Biography :

Ken Perry is an experienced engineer, corporate trainer and consultant specializing in innovation, intrapreneuring and materials technology. His primary role with Pinchot & Company is to develop an ecopreneuring practice based on combining environmental leadership values and appropriate technology/strategy with proven methods for accelerating innovation. By enriching the individuals learning experience and aligning team values and purpose, he works to create a climate for translating shared vision into action and success.

Ken's interest in innovation and intrapreneuring began at NIKE, Inc. where he was the lead technologist in the development of environmentally responsible polymer membranes for footwear applications. He pioneered a computational design methodology for engineered footwear cushioning systems and applied fracture mechanics in the NIKE AIR manufacturing quality program to improve the quality of NIKE AIR technology. He also worked as a senior scientist for the Hexcel Corporation where he continued to champion business and technology process enhancement through research, workshops and manufacturing process improvement. Following Hecel, Ken designed and analyzed implantable medical devices for over twenty-five clients and is still active in this area.

In addition to his work as a consultant, Ken is active as a scientist in developing ecologically effective materials---compounds that are inspired by and designed for returning to nature. This `Materials Biomimicry' approach can be used to develop materials for use in the human body (e.g. biocompatible), as well as materials that promote healthy industrial ecosystems (e.g. biodegradable). With expertise in mechanics of materials, medical devices, polymers, fracture mechanics and computational modeling, Ken is involved in a range of technology and product development activities.

Ken received a bachelors degree in Engineering Science and Mechanics from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Mechanics of Materials from Strathclyde University, in Glasgow Scotland. Ken was awarded a two year Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in Idaho Falls, where he also taught as an adjunct professor in the Engineering Department of Idaho State University. Trained as Master Practitioner of NLP, Ken is a member of the Global NLP Community and an advisor to the Institute for the Advanced Study of Health (IASH).

He has published articles and presented seminars on health, innovation, sustainability and over 30 scientific papers in the field of Applied Mechanics. He received the Hetenyi award for the best research paper published in the journal of Experimental Mechanics in 1996 and is active with the Society for Experimental Mechanics Professional Society where he sponsors a technical division on Biologically Inspired Materials. Ken is currently living on Bainbridge Island in Washington.
