John F. Kennedy once said: “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future”.
It is to that future that we should always be looking towards, that we should be planning for, and looking to master.
It is for that reason that Global Corporate Venturing is proud to announce Rising Stars, a special report which will highlight the next generation of talent in the corporate venturing world.
A follow up to our widely read GCV Powerlist, we will be looking for the up and comers, the heir apparents, the big hitters, and the cogs which make a corporate venturing unit’s wheels go round.
We’re currently in the process of identifying 100 individuals who will be driving forward corporate venturing in the coming years, and will be conducting interviews throughout the next two months.
The report itself will be unveiled at our forthcoming Global Corporate Venturing and Innovation Summit, due to be held in Sonoma, California on 27-28 January 2016. We encourage corporate venturing leaders to nominate members of their team for consideration in the report, which is being headed up by editor-at-large Gregg Bayes-Brown. Gregg can be reached via email at gbayes-brown@globaluniversityventuring.com, and looks forward to hearing from you.
