Where Do You Shop When You Need A New Wrench In Space?

At the recent Forbes CIO Summit in Half Moon Bay, California, I had the opportunity to share the stage with about a dozen leading technology leaders from a variety of different companies. Included among them were CEOs, CIOs, and venture capitalists. After the event concluded, I reached out to a number of contacts of mine who were in the audience to gauge what they found most interesting, and the person who was mentioned more than any other was Kyle Nel, who is the Executive Director of Lowe's Innovation Labs at Lowe's Home Improvement. You might think to yourself, "'Innovation Labs' sounds interesting, but Lowe's? How innovative can that be?" Very innovative, as it turns out.
