“I’m supporting Academy because we share common values. I believe in their mission and did I mention I’m passionate about technology?
More importantly, I believe in people and their potential. We face big challenges and tech offers meaningful hope. Building effective solutions requires technical talent. It also calls for very human skills; collaboration and teamwork; creativity and resilience; diversity and respect.
I’m excited to be part of a new team, and to support new emerging talent, serving a location that was home to me for a decade. Go Academy!”
