About the workshop provider:

I am a former digital media agency founder, and spent years at Google working in the automotive sector, managing global partnerships and founding the first industry strategy team for global automotive business development. I later transitioned into ed tech, leading sales and business development organizations for workforce training companies (Udacity, Catalyte and Tech Elevator). My company, Mission Flywheel, is a revenue strategy partner to growth-stage companies focused on proving their social impact. This work merges two of my passions: helping the world respond to critical challenges facing society – and helping startups to succeed.
