Innovation & Entrepreneurship

I have been honored to work with fellow NACIE members to shape a new $10B Regional Innovation Hub program that will be funded by The CHIPS & Science Act. 

I have accepted two new opportunities to share my expertise at the national level, joining the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (NACIE) and the Advisory Board of the Center for American Entrepreneurship.

In the fast-changing landscape of ecosystem development, our challenge is to combine talent, innovation, inclusion, and connectivity—the key drivers of economic vibrancy.

Startup communities filled with like-minded, passionate, risk-taking entrepreneurs are the heartbeat—the cultural and economic engine—of the innovation economy.

Ecosystem builders are experts tasked with the responsibility of leading the entire region to embrace and accelerate innovation.
