Background

About Lukas Kuhn

I am passionate about innovation. Driven by the desire to make organizations work better, I seek to deeply understand how organizations operate, what makes them successful, and how to overcome their challenges. Innovation happens when we are willing to upend the status quo and apply creative thinking to improve processes, products, or services. Sometimes that means introducing new technologies or adopting best practices from other domains. I helped found Tourmaline Labs, now Tourmo, to fuel my passion for bringing innovative ideas to reality by shipping solutions to our customers in the face of real-world constraints with transportation logistics. Tourmo leads the charge in applying patented AI methods to aggregating global mobility insights, which enable the company to create breakthroughs and possibilities for people, organizations, cities, and society. I focus on aligning corporate strategy to technology execution, driving business capabilities, energizing employees, strengthening teams, and transforming organizational culture. I enjoy building lasting relationships and collaborating with others.I thrive in complex, dynamic environments that require decision-making without the luxury of all the facts, and I’m particularly drawn to initiatives that ultimately differentiate our products in the marketplace.Prior to Tourmo Inc, I served at Qualcomm's Research & Development Center as a Systems Engineer developing contextual Intelligence technologies and systems designed to enhance and coordinate user outcomes. In 2010 I obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Technical University of Munich. I have published over 35 peer-reviewed research articles, hold 21 US patents and actively participate in a number of industry-related committees.
