WTF is a DEO? The Mashup of Creativity & Business

Description

A “DEO, or the “Design Executive Officer”, is a hybrid of a strategic business executive and a creative, problem solver who places design and creativity at the center of their organization. They are the catalysts for transformation and the agents of cultural change.
