To entrepreneurs, “disruption” is just another word for “opportunity.” Yet it takes a special kind of perspective — and a special kind of leader — to move from chaos to innovation. Our world today is rife with disruption: from the pandemic, to breakneck technological change, to mass global migration. It’s perfect timing for visionary entrepreneurs eager to make an impact.
More and more we’re seeing Cornell University alumni leading the charge with startups focused on improving lives and building a better world. In this session, Andrew Karolyi, Dean of Cornell’s SC Johnson College of Business, invites you to sit down with a panel of rising entrepreneurial stars to discover their approach to promoting positive change with creative solutions to everyday problems.
This session is definitely not “business as usual”: Our panelists will discuss the traits that have best served them on their journey, how to embrace challenges — and even major “failures” — as fodder for innovation, and how COVID-19 made pivoting and problem solving the new norm.
