EDUCATION SESSION #1065
Are You Ready to Start-up Your Own Business?
|
|
When does the urge to lead your own company take hold and propel you on your way? What resources (and funds) should you gather to bring the business to life? Who might advise you along the way?
Take notes from managers who will share their professional journey from corporate roles to business start-up entrepreneurs.
Bring your questions and share their enthusiasm, courage and energy. Perhaps you will mention your next start-up idea as you network with peers over drinks and hors d’oeuvres following the presentation.

Sara Colnago
CEO, Business Competence,
Co-Founder, Swascan
Sara Colnago, putting to use her analytical thinking and curiosity towards technological innovation, coupled with a talent for building strong ties, co-founded and then rose to the top of Business Competence, becoming the CEO. At the helm she has been instrumental in developing several innovative and successful startups and projects. The most notable, Swascan, is making strides in the word of Cyber Security right now! Her strong drive and belief in ideas has always been her strongpoint. That’s why Business Competence under her guidance reinvested every year’s profit into new internal projects, a very bold move, but a firm one. And to think that she achieved all of this without a particularly strong technological background!

Serena’s early career in investment banking at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs has convinced her that technology can foster awareness, increase transparency and ultimately make finance more accessible. She sees technology as a field offering infinite creative possibilities and considers her job as entrepreneur a never ending learning opportunity. Her secret recipe to balance work and family is long distance running.
