KELSEY RUSH - FOUNDER

I am inspired by product design and aware of the impact space has on productivity and engagement.  As Charles Eames noted, "The role of the designer is that of a very good, thoughtful host, all of whose energy goes into trying to anticipate the needs of his guests.”

I've made a career in Silicon Valley leading creative teams and shipping world-changing products.  Since graduating from Dartmouth College with High Honors, I've served in multiple VP of Product roles, and I've participated in Stanford’s D. School Executive Education Bootcamp: Design Thinking – From Insight to Innovation.

I've spent my professional career at IBM, where I build strategic relationships and define value add outcomes that align customer needs with product capabilities.  I collaborate with innovators and thought leaders to drive marketing strategies and brand differentiators.

I've been mastering the art of change management my entire life.  Beginning with an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College in Economics & Government, a masters in Art History from Dartmouth College, an MBA from UNC Chapel Hill, and a career at IBM - every quarter has been an opportunity to lead.
