Entrepreneurship with Eric Carlson '66
Join us for an open session with Eric Carlson ’66 to discuss his background and experiences with social entrepreneurship. Eric spent 25 years in research, product development, and executive management with 5 entrepreneurial companies in Silicon Valley--at two of which he was President and CEO. During this time he also served 10 years on the Los Gatos Town Council, including two terms as mayor, attempting to apply an entrepreneurial approach to local government. He then 'retired' and spent the past 15 years helping create the Global Social Benefit Incubator (GSBI) program at Santa Clara University. As part the GSBI, he worked closely with over 200 social entrepreneurs from around the world, and developed an MBA class and online course for practitioners on managing financially sustainable social businesses.
Lunch will be provided.
