Jonathan Ortmans President, Global Entrepreneurship Week
Senior Fellow, Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation will be flying into Malaysia specially to celebrate "the Week" with us !
Mr Ortmans will be in KL on the 19th !
An agenda for the visit is currently being worked out.
We will put up the agenda on our site as soon its finalized.
A brief bio of Jonathan:
Leading the development of Global Entrepreneurship Week on behalf of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, Jonathan Ortmans has worked to align more than 75 countries to inspire, connect, mentor and engage the next generation of entrepreneurs.
In 2007, he successfully piloted a similar effort focused exclusively on the United States that engaged more than 1,300 partner organizations and roughly 500,000 people.
Ortmans advises the Kauffman Foundation principally on its global footprint and its interface with policymakers through the Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship (hosted on entrepreneurship.org), a public policy initiative to focus attention on the importance of entrepreneurship to the economy and society.
Based in Washington, DC, Ortmans serves as an interface between new research and initiatives to advance entrepreneurship at the Foundation and the questions and concerns that arise from policymakers in the nation's capital.
He started his first business at the age of 19 in his native United Kingdom and his second at 34 after a career in Washington, DC, working for the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee focusing on trade policy. Previously, Ortmans served as executive director of the Columbia Institute for Political Research, concentrating on health care economic policy.
Currently, he also serves as President of the Public Forum Institute, an independent, nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization that enjoys strong bi-partisan congressional support in fostering public discourse on major issues of the day.
We are extremely fortunate to have Mr Ortmans visit us during the Week !
Welcome to Malaysia Mr Ortmans !
