Alain Rostain is the founder and principal of Creative Advantage, a strategic innovation consulting firm. His work has centered on helping clients create business value through the successful implementation of new ideas. He is an expert at idea management implementation, creative thinking and the use of improvisational theater techniques for individual and group effectiveness.

As an undergraduate and graduate student studying Artificial Intelligence at Yale University, Alain focused on using computers to model and understand creative thinking in people. After being introduced to improvisational theater in 1990, Alain saw the potential benefits of using improv techniques to develop and support creative thinking and effective performance. Based on this premise, he founded Creative Advantage in 1993. His firm has serviced dozens of Fortune 500 clients since.

Most recently, Alain founded the Association for the Advancement of Improvisation in Business, the first professional association to bring together practitioners across the globe (www.improvinbiz.org). Alain has also been very active in the InnovationNetwork since its inception.

Alain is fluent in Spanish, French and English.
