Live@LIFT: Adversity Advantage & Accessibility with Amanda Boxtel

  • Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs (map)

We are all facing some level of challenge during these unprecedented times--professionally, personally, and especially in the world of startups and entrepreneurship. Amanda Boxtel wants us to flip our challenges on their head and turn adversity into an advantage. What problems need solving? What products could you build to create impact and change? Amanda took a life changing skiing accident in a foreign country and turned it into an opportunity not only for herself, but for thousands of others through her company Bridging Bionics. In this session Amanda will join Comcast NBCUniversal’s Executive Director of Military & Veteran Affairs, Rebecca Gray, to discuss resilience in the face of adversity, as a human and as a founder, and dive into opportunities for innovators and technologists to create solutions that are accessible for all.
