About this episode
In the podcast episode, David Ngene discusses his unconventional journey from studying mechanical engineering to exploring design thinking at Northwestern University. His career path took him from JP Morgan to architecture and eventually to Nike, where he spent over a decade as an innovation director. At Nike, he cultivated a passion for integrating design and engineering, which motivated him to start his own company, PacSpace. David's company initially focused on creating smart backpacks with embedded RFID chips to track product provenance. However, the project evolved into developing a more extensive software solution for usage disputes and API metering issues.
