Baltimore Collab

Managing director · 2022–2025 · Kauffman Knowledge Challenge

Role: Managing director Organization: Johns Hopkins University · Kauffman Foundation

Co-led the Johns Hopkins side of a Kauffman Foundation Knowledge Challenge effort, the Intelligent Innovation Initiative (i3), aimed at a more inclusive Baltimore business ecosystem.

The work was hands-on program design and partnership building: connecting university capacity with neighborhood entrepreneurs, small business support, and civic stakeholders so “innovation economy” conversations included the people and places the metrics usually skip.
