Dr. David Cutler PhD
“For a problem this important, why not turn it into a GAME?”
Dr. David Cutler balances a varied career as a speaker, author, consultant, and multi-genre musician. In all these pursuits, he works to push boundaries while connecting with new audiences.

His full-color, illustrated book The GAME of Innovation (McGraw-Hill; March 2022) guides readers to conquer creative challenges, level up their team, and invent the extraordinary.
An award-winning, multi-genre composer, pianist, and Yamaha Master Educator, Cutler has performed extensively across North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
