Ken Durand

At Boomtown Innovation, I lead solutions design at the intersection of strategy, execution, and disruptive value creation. My work focuses on helping founders, operators, and enterprise partners identify the true pivot points where new markets, products, and business models can emerge—rather than incrementally optimizing what already exists. I partner closely with leadership teams to frame the right problems, pressure-test assumptions, and convert ambiguity into clear, executable strategic direction.

I operate fluidly across advisory, product, and portfolio contexts—guiding early-stage ventures, supporting enterprise innovation initiatives, and mentoring teams through moments of inflection. My background as a multi-time founder and innovation leader informs a disciplined, data-informed approach grounded in finance, strategy, and real-world operating experience. I am particularly focused on disruptive innovation across sports, media, and adjacent ecosystems, helping organizations move beyond incremental change to unlock entirely new sources of value. My strength lies in making the complicated simple, aligning diverse stakeholders around a shared narrative, and translating innovation ambition into durable outcomes that matter in the real world.
