I’m passionate about supporting organizational and business management practices that are not just technically innovative, but are also socially expansive. It is a rare and important opportunity to connect with members of the start-up ecosystem who are interested in improving how they do business WITH people, FOR people.

Collaborating with emerging startups also provides an opportunity to connect with aligned leaders where supportive relationships can be established for the future.
