Becoming a Designpreneur Part 6

Thursday, November 13, 2025 | 6:00 PM (Virtual)
Hosted by John Arnott, featuring Stephan Clambaneva

Join us for Part 6 of the Designpreneur series — a monthly exploration of how designers transform ideas into businesses.

Hosted by John Arnott, Part 6 features Stephan Clambaneva, someone who doesn’t just talk design—he lives it at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and impact. As Managing Director of PARK USA, he helps companies—from global brands to early-stage startups—embed design excellence, strategic clarity, and circular thinking into the heart of their business.

With over 25 years of experience at IBM, Dassault Systèmes, and PARK, Stephan has shaped industries from MedTech to mobility. He brings a unique blend of corporate insight and entrepreneurial energy, honed over a decade of service on the Board of Directors for the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) and through global speaking engagements with WDO and Milan Design Week.

Stephan is also a dedicated startup mentor, supporting early-stage innovation through partnerships with German Accelerator, Orange Grove, GreekTech, and other international programs. From pitch storytelling to long-term product and brand strategy, he equips founders and SMEs with the tools to scale sustainably and differentiate through design. His belief: strategy isn’t a luxury for startups—it’s a necessity, and design is their most undervalued asset.
