Global Networking Night: Richmond

building research network on educational leadership and policy

Social connections in Richmond (recently relocated from Midwest). Career and Business opportunities. Mentorship, Board and consulting.

I've worked in B2B SaaS for 10+ years with a brief detour into non-profit homebuilding. I'm interested in using market forces to create positive social returns I like to cook, read, garden, exercise. I'm currently learning about bookkeeping + finance. New-ish to the area and excited to see who's in town.

Air traffic, ICE flights, running, recreational adult soccer, F1, local bands

Looking to connect with people who share interests in travel to lesser-known places, sports, community service, and discussions around diplomacy and public policy.

Entrepreneur and startup founder building a home concierge company. Former McKinsey and HBS. Interested in connecting with fellow alumni and hearing how others are navigating entrepreneurship and impact.

After a decade of providing consulting services on SaaS technology implementations, I recently transitioned full-time to a new position as Co-Founder at a new venture (Coraa) focused on AI and enterprise data visibility. I'm interested in connecting with others in similar positions or with similar backgrounds.

I’ve just relocated back to the States after a three-year chapter in Germany, and one of my top priorities is plugging back into our Harvard alumni network. My background spans 10+ years in education—ranging from grassroots nonprofit work to international policy—and I’m keen to meet others in the L&D, edtech, and child advocacy spaces.

I want to expand my network and meet with fellow alumni

I have a book and draft about votes of no confidence in nonprofit institutions, especially universities. I have a PHD in political science that I already held when I entered Harvard Law School. My interests have to do with the general stickiness involved in trying to force the exit of bad leaders, either leaders of an entire country such as the one we reside in here in Virginia and in institutions that lack a system for mission-oriented professionals to force a leader's early exit, other than an appeal to a body within the institution that holds formal power. That is in contrast to what can occasionally happen with corporate voting power.

Interested in how organizations handle disruption when the information they're working with is unreliable: risk analysis, planning under uncertainty, that kind of thing. Looking to meet people in ops, logistics, policy, defense, really anyone doing resilience work.

Experienced administrator with over 10 years in higher education specializing in managing academic programs, advising students, program development, and international education. Received ALM in Sustainability, Class '25. Started a new career path in writing non-fiction children's books for middle school students. Stories about sustainability and the natural world. Looking for new career opportunities.

As I get ready to retire, I have been thinking about topics in software development that I would enjoy researching and writing about.

Higher education, policy and science policy (currently a AAAS STPF fellow at the State Council for Higher Education of Virginia)

I run a small research team empowering remote elder care workers with AI, to make eldercare giving affordable.

I moved to Richmond last summer from Utah and look forward to meeting more Harvard alumni here in Virginia. I have a company that provides fractional marketing executives to growing consumer brand companies, primarily in the food and packaged goods industries.

I am an early childhood specialist and am in the start-up phase of my Richmond-based business. I am looking forward to connecting with alumni and expanding my network in Virginia.

Retired attorney (25 years in house with a major telecom company), married to another HLS grad (32 years as an environmental attorney in the federal government). Moved to RVA 2+ years ago to be closer to daughters and grands. Interested in connecting and mentoring.

I am new to Virginia and would like to meet new people.
