Million-Dollar Second Acts

By Jeffrey Gangemi
After a decade directing digital media creative at firms such as the renowned Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Ren Moulton says he left a "fairly cushy job going from creating to managing a department to go back to grad school to focus on an MA in product design and engineering and an MBA in consumer marketing". His rationale? He always got more excited by his tech clients' potential new product development rather than marketing their established products. Today he runs DGMT products, a product development firm with a robotic interreactive pet toy and prosumer tool brand, "Frolick", with a 300% annual growth rate and $10 Million in 2010 sales.

This influence is evident in debates around social welfare, environmental responsibility, and the expansion of democratic participation, reflecting a commitment to both individual freedom and collective well-being.
