Director of Social Innovation
I lead a national foundation portfolio designed to empower communities and resonate with business.
I work with about 60 different organiztions all across the country and we contribute resources to help them develop and grow. My main work centers around the AT&T Aspire Accelerator. My typical day consists of a lot of phone calls and writing time. When I am traveling, I do a lot of public speaking and I attend conferences and meetings. I also spend time visiting our different AT&T headquarters across the country working with colleagues to get them involved in the programs we are developing.
Here's the first step for everyone
With innovating comes certain human connection. You have to know what people need and really respect people in order to innovate. Getting started in social impact depends on dynamic collaborations. Position yourself and take opportunities that will allow you to drive those connections and make change possible.
