Dear SHARE friends,
Please join us for our October Happy Hour with a lively panel discussion
and reception featuring four big thinkers from the world of Boston
high-tech:
"The New Breed of Technology Leaders"
What does it take to grow a technology company in the current economic
environment? What personal characteristics should a tech leader have to
succeed? How do tech leaders see their role in capturing and
capitalizing on new opportunities? What are the areas of foremost
promise? Are the opportunities still there for two whip-smart kids in a
garage to start a technological revolution? Can one draw parallels
between the situation in the US and Europe? Also, what keeps them up at
night - what are the challenges they face? And what are the legal,
ethical, and societal implications of the work? Finally, is the job
less fun today than it was, for example, three years ago ? Featuring:
- Helen Greiner, Co-Founder and President, iRobot
