Summary
With over 30 years of experience in public-private partnerships, alternative revenue generation, and project management, I am a co-founder of Resilience Innovation Hub, a platform that connects and supports innovators, investors, and stakeholders in the field of resilience and pre-disaster risk mitigation. My mission is to catalyze and accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies, integrated solutions, and alternative resources that address persistent threats and challenges in communities and industries, such as drought, flood, fire, earthquake, cyber security, and critical infrastructure. I leverage my former White House senior executive service, my extensive network and expertise in policy and practice, and my track record of fundraising and institutional advancement to enable and facilitate impactful collaborations and outcomes.
