I am the Associate Director of the Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship at the Carlson School of Management and the co-PI/Program Director of MIN-Corps, a site of the National Science Foundation I-Corps initiative.  I design and deliver education and coaching programs to facilitate technology commercialization across the State and University of Minnesota. MIN-Corps helps STEM students, faculty and research scientists, as well as technology entrepreneurs, translate their innovations to the marketplace.  I also teach entrepreneurship and strategy at the Carlson School. 

 

I serve on the WomenVenture board of directors, and on the advisory boards of the Minnesota Center for Financial and Actuarial Mathematics and the Center for Women in Medicine and Science . During my prior careers in the financial services and publishing industries, I helped lead independent startups, internal corporate ventures and turnarounds.  For the latest on what I've been doing, here's my LinkedIn profile.
