????Ben Artis, 28 ????Senior Category Manager, Connected Home ????Whirlpool ????No. 148 (Global 500) ????“Never say no to a new idea until you’ve had a chance to see its potential.” ????Ben Artis used to link disparate ideas as a weekly improv-comedy performer in Chicago. Now the new father helps his century-old employer strike deals with strange bedfellows—such as Google’s Nest—to help Whirlpool secure a role in the growing Internet of things. The result? A line of laundry machines that can detect when you leave home and switch to a setting that keeps dried clothes fresh. It’s improv’s “Yes, and……” approach applied to tech. —Katie Fehrenbacher |
