Microsoft’s Toni Townes-Whitley, Corporate Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector and Industry, calls for #DigitalLeadership, even if that means taking on the "less sexy stuff."
With product design an integral part of business today, it’s surprising that just a few decades ago, the union of design and commerce was largely dismissed in the corporate world.
If you're on Stanford University campus stop by the Cantor Arts exhibit "Creativity on the Line: Design for the Corporate World."

“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
~Steve Jobs

Stanford Technology Ventures Program mit Marco Mora Mendoza.
"Entrepreneurship is about finding solutions to society’s problems and having the drive to execute them. Those opportunities are not exclusive to startups, tech or Silicon Valley. There are many issues that need to be addressed today, and I think food and energy waste should be among our top priorities. I want to become an engineer to help find long-term, sustainable solutions to these and other problems that affect us.
I believe that having more people that search for opport...unities, take risks and are not afraid of coming up with solutions will be much more helpful in the long run and having the required entrepreneurial mindset can definitely be learned. Like Steve Jobs once said, 'The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.'
This is why I decided to become an STVP Innovation Ambassador, so I could meet other people that share this view and my interest in entrepreneurship. It has been a great way to remind myself to be aware of all the possibilities for innovation around me.”
-Marco Antonio Mora-Mendoza, STVP Innovation Ambassador

"It’s an important lesson for every entrepreneur: Your special talents, and a high-fidelity image of the people you’re serving, should be the steel guardrails for your venture."
“I view entrepreneurship as a systematic and creativity-laden study of deficiency through the lens of opportunity. In simple words, I believe that it is a kind of intellectual and social muscle that everyone can benefit from, no matter their interests or expertise. Personally, I am really interested in VR and its possible applications within the domains of social interaction, education and productivity. By leveraging this technology to foster and not alter humanity, we should... be on our way to achieving great and sustainable things.
I became an STVP Innovation Ambassador so I could meet more people with a similar passion for problem solving. By being in this program, I have discovered that I can finally clearly communicate whatever novel, convoluted or simply insane idea crosses my mind. And that makes all the difference when it comes to working with many talented folks and building on each other's ideas to spur innovative action.”
Beata Petkowa, STVP Innovation Ambassador
