Van E EisemanVan E. Eiseman was thrust into leadership at the age of eighteen, when the U.S. Navy recognized his potential before he realized it himself. For over 30 years, he has shaped technology strategy, guiding organizations in designing digital experiences hile asking harder questions about who they serve.Then, in 2014, Van was diagnosed with Stage 4 tonsil cancer. Survival required perseverance, patience, and faith in healing that could not be rushed. The experience left him with a lasting belief: that endurance is sustained not by will alone, but by a sense of responsibility beyond oneself.That belief shapes how he thinks about who gets to decide, who bears the cost of those decisions, and what happens when technology moves faster than our willingness to pause and ask better questions.Van lives near Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Gena, and their children, Lance and Maya. When he isn't writing or advising, he enjoys playing guitar, riding dirt bikes through the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and hand-painting custom Vans footwear. Read More Read Less
