Share an inspiring story about your time at the Keller Center.
One of the eLab teams I mentored had to "pivot" their focus halfway through the program when they learned that regulatory issues would not let them successfully target a particular market segment. The team quickly altered their solution and successfully addressed another target market that would benefit from their offering. The team rose to the challenging situation they were in and did not get "derailed."
How have you benefited from your involvement with the Keller Center?
I have developed wonderful relationships with the students I have mentored and get a lot of satisfaction seeing them succeed with their projects. I just attended the wedding of one of the students I mentored and expect our connection to continue even though their involvement at Keller has completed - lifelong relationships can be made working with these incredible students!
What are your current career interests?
Currently I am an independent consultant doing marketing and new business development engagements.
