Chad Dickerson’s professional journey took him from studying the works of Shakespeare to heading Etsy’s global marketplace for unique and creative goods. In this special session, Chad will share his story as part of the Milstein Program in Technology & Humanity’s “In Focus Speaker Series.”
Participants will hear about the professional pivots Chad pulled off during his career, including high-profile positions at Salon.com and Yahoo!, as well his post-Etsy career as an executive coach and Cornell Tech Fellow.
This interactive online event will also include a speed-pitch session, in which five undergraduates will pitch their business concepts to Chad for impromptu feedback.
The “In Focus Speaker Series” features industry leaders talking about their winding career paths, what they worked on before their first big breakthroughs, and how the twists and turns of their careers led them to where they are now.
