Tweet
Ann Arbor SPARK, a regional economic development nonprofit organization, is launching Ann Arbor SPARK CEO podcasts: "Conversations on Economic Opportunity."
The podcasts will feature Paul Krutko, SPARK's president and CEO, speaking with regional business leaders.
"Since joining Ann Arbor SPARK, I've met with more than 80 business owners who are advancing our region's economy; there's an incredible depth of expertise in our region," said Krutko in a news releae.
"The podcast series is designed to not only highlight that expertise but also make it available to others who could benefit from the wisdom those business leaders can share."
The podcasts will feature successful local businesses, business owners and business leaders. Throughout these conversations, the CEOs will share best practices, lessons learned and an "in the trenches" view of the region's economy.
The first podcast, available now on Ann Arbor SPARK's website, is an interview of Mary Sue Coleman, president of University of Michigan. Coleman discusses the role of a research university in economic development and the impact of University of Michigan's partnership with Ann Arbor SPARK on the region.
Subsequent Ann Arbor SPARK CEO podcasts will feature regional leaders, including Ken Fischer, president of the University Musical Society; Mike Miller, head of Google Ann Arbor; and Jan Garfinkle, managing director of venture capital firm Arboretum Ventures.
Ann Arbor SPARK collaborates with business, academic, government, and community investor partners including the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, Washtenaw Community College, Washtenaw County, Washtenaw County etcs/Michigan Works!, the City of Ann Arbor, Bank of Ann Arbor and the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
