I am a member of the LinkedIn For Good team at LinkedIn. Our mission is to use the LinkedIn platform to connect talent with opportunities to improve the world, at massive scale. We believe LinkedIn's commercial products improve the world, by their nature, but we seek to do it more directly. After a few years as research staff at Carnegie Mellon in the late s, I have spent my career founding and leading Pittsburgh-based startups mSpoke (acquired by LinkedIn), Transarc (acquired by IBM) e-Transport (acquired by Descartes) Premier Health Exchange (acquired by Medibuy) and Medebiz (merged with Moai Technologies). I also spent five wonderful years at MAYA Design Group, a Pittsburgh-based interdisciplinary product design firm.
