我喜欢研究所有类型独特新技术。凭借在无线通信、车辆自动化、主动安全、信息娱乐和人机界面方面20多年的各种汽车经验，我几乎见证了一切的发展！我亲眼目睹了汽车从带有定速巡航功能的卡式录音机到具备自动驾驶功能的Android Auto的变迁，这个过程中的创新可谓精彩纷呈！我是密歇根州立大学的电子工程硕士。毫无疑问，我最喜欢的Honda产品是Type R — 速度与激情！
Eric Blumbergs
作为一名项目经理，我为Honda Innovations带来一系列的技术、投资和创业背景。在加入Honda Innovations之前，我是固特异创新团队的一员，负责开发和推出新的服务业务模式。在此之前，我曾在JumpStart Inc.工作，这是一家与科技公司合作并为其投资的早期投资基金。而在那之前，我与别人共同发明了一种用于检测心脏手术患者术后内出血的监测系统。我获得了凯斯西储大学的工程与管理硕士学位以及生物医学工程的理学士。我最喜欢的Honda产品是NSX和S660。
Adity Sharma
I conduct market research to understand competitive landscapes, technologies, and startup ecosystems relevant to Honda. I bring a customer-centric approach from my prior position on the User Experience team at Telenav, a connected car supplier. I studied Marketing at the University of Maryland; during that time I led business operations for our Formula SAE automotive engineering team, interned at Hyundai’s Product Planning team, and consulted with a D.C.-based startup incubator to study social enterprise ecosystems in the US. I truly value working to create change within large organizations like Honda. The only car I love more than my own 2002 Acura TL, which I’ve driven across the country, is the Acura NSX. And maybe the Honda E.

Mio Harimoto
我负责Honda Xcelerator的电气化和替代能源领域，其中包括电池和电动汽车技术、充电、燃料电池及相关学科。我曾在哈佛大学攻读环境工程和地球科学，并在加入Honda团队之前从事过战略咨询工作。我喜欢自己的职业，因为这项工作影响深远，并且让我机会与各种有趣的人接触。我喜欢汽车、旅行、飞行，还喜欢拉小提琴。作为水上运动爱好者，我喜欢在周末出海、潜水、风筝冲浪或划船。我最喜欢的Honda产品（除了NSX之外）是BF250hp V6舷外马达。
Reid Bergsund
“我负责代表Honda Xcelerator与最具创新的一些欧洲初创公司建立联系。我生于巴黎长在柏林，我拥有丰富的创业背景，对欧洲各地的开放式创新和创业生态系统有着深刻的了解。我热衷于生物技术、能源、机器人和人工智能领域的尖端科技创业公司。同时，我也是一名加密爱好者。
我最喜欢Honda的一方面是它多元化的产品以及公司深厚的技术底蕴，这使得与颠覆性的企业家们开展意义深远的合作项目成为可能，从而改善人们的生活。 “

自2018年中以来，我一直在以色列领导Honda Xcelerator活动。在加入Honda Innovations之前，我曾担任汽车一级供应商的技术侦察员，专注于以色列的创新生态系统。过去，我曾在可再生能源、农业和化工领域担任创新采购职位。我获得了班古里昂大学的工商管理学士学位以及创业与创新MBA学位。我喜欢Honda的技术开放性 — 我们的Honda Xcelerator计划正是为了利用其全球推广来在整个企业内产生多元化的影响，这也是传统汽车行业中的一种真正独一无二的开放式创新方法。
Ben Reuveni
It’s exciting to be leading Honda Xcelerator operations in China. I have been in Beijing since 2017 and am always amazed at the possibilities of this fast-paced market. While I cover all areas of business and technology innovation, a particular focus area is intelligent connected vehicles and mobility as a service (MaaS.)
The quickly evolving innovation ecosystem in China holds particular promise for smart city and related, enabling markets and technology. Prior to my role for Honda Xcelerator here in Beijing, I was responsible for connected vehicle development at Honda R&D in Japan.

I work as a liaison between startups and Honda in Japan and the Southeast Asia region. As part of the Honda Xcelerator program, I scout for future technologies and business models which, and develop partnerships for co-creation and collaboration.
I began my career as an engineer developing mass production power products and performing research and development of new areas such as energy, fuel cell and battery products. I continued in that pursuit for over 10 years.
In addition to my role in Xcelerator, I also belong to the Honda Motor corporate planning department where I engage in business strategy and development. I’m involved in the Honda new business spin-out program called IGNITION. Honda employees’ dreams and ideas that actively create new value for customers are brought to life through this program. Through this combination of roles, I’m able to strongly promote collaboration.
I really enjoy working with the wonderful people and dynamic work I’m able to engage in across Xclerator, corporate planning and IGNITION. We are seeking to evolve mobility and lifestyle for next generation.
