Part of the TigerTalks Digital series, this panel explored How to Build and Sustain a Culture of Innovation.
Startups begin with an innovative idea. But, is the culture established in the early stages of a company’s life focused enough on innovation so that the business can pivot readily and invest effectively in products and go-to-market strategies? If the company then achieves market traction, can it sustain this innovation culture over time as it grows and extends its reach into the market? Companies, small to large, and across all sectors of business, are challenged with maintaining a culture of innovation or else face threats from nimble and creative new competitors.
The panelists are Randy Altschuler ’93, CEO of Xometry (digital manufacturing); Tshaka Cunningham ’96, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at TruGenomix (behavioral health); Roselle Safran ’99, CEO and Founder of KeyCaliber (cybersecurity); and Tim Hwang ’14, Founder and CEO of FiscalNote (global issues management). The panel was moderated by Margarita Womack *09, Founder and CEO of Mas Panadas.
