In addition to teaching appointments in both Cornell’s College of Business and College of Engineering, he is the Managing Director at eLab and the Director of Hardware Entrepreneurship at REV, among several other active engagements. He shares his expertise with us via an interactive, nuts and bolts lesson on how to prepare and deliver a pitch to investors.
