Focusing on ventures with positive social and environmental impact, Holden’s problem-solving approach relies on learning unique aspects of new environments quickly, clinically dissecting potential challenge points, and designing, testing, and validating possible solutions. More practically, this entails launching new products, entering new markets, growing teams, and fundraising.

His focus on these projects was developing imaginative concepts through prototype stage into early production environments.
