With 9,500 global employees, including 5,000 in the Austin area, it has also been credited with helping to build the city’s burgeoning tech scene. The conversation will center around practical “If I Knew Then…” leadership advice, personal life philosophies, guiding principles, and the challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurs in today’s landscape.
