Adam Ostrow  

Adam Ostrow, Chief Strategy Officer at Mashable.com and Alumnus of the Merrill School of Journalism and the Hinman CEOs Program presented his talk titled "Reimagining Media for a Connected World" on April 11, 2013.

 

It's many an engineer's dream—to create and introduce a new product or technology, and in the process make the world a better place and reap financial benefits. The Whiting-Turner Business and Entrepreneurial Lecture Series, now beginning its second decade at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, celebrates this dream and helps make students, faculty, alumni and regional business people more likely to achieve it.

The series brings leading technology enterprise thinkers to campus—men and women from large, established companies or small and promising start-ups, who deal with the real-world challenges of a fast-paced, global economy. In their lectures and question-and-answer sessions, they share their insights and experiences, their "war stories" and predictions, inspiring audience members to apply new ideas and approaches in their current or future careers.

The Clark School would like to thank the Whiting-Turner Contracting Company for supporting this lecture series. Visitors may also browse the complete video archive of Whiting-Turner Lectures.
