In the view of transparency, below is an excerpt from an advisory email I sent this month:
It’s been 3 months since you’ve heard from me, lots of BIG changes and a new exciting announcement:
UPDATES 🎉
- Completed a month of Entrepreneur-in-Residence work supporting the Foreign Trade University Innovation & Incubation Space in Hanoi with improving their incubation program and launching a new accelerator program.
- Spoke at the Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp in Kuala Lumpur.
- Left my full-time role at Spring to focus on VH.
- I will still be supporting Spring lightly as a contractor.
- During this transition, I’m still open to independent projects in the innovation/incubation realm.
- Exploring a new potential pivot direction:
- To focus on providing soft-skill training/education (which was the core mission of VH to begin with – to change education through the way companies hire). With more available time on my hands, might as well tackle education hands-on.
SOFT-SKILLS WORKSHOP SERIES
