Pompei's work is based on his design philosophy, C3: Commerce, Culture, and Community. This integration is at the heart of the idea of the “transformative environment,” a running theme throughout Pompei's work. His approach earned him a spot in Mavericks at Work, a book by Fast Company co-founder William C. Taylor and longtime editor Polly LaBarre, about the "most original minds in business." ==References==
