Creating a Symphony of Innovation: Danielle Cohn, VP, Startup Engagement & Head of LIFTLabs, Comcast
Description
Host Neha Sampat, CEO of Contentstack, and Danielle Cohn, Vice President of Startup Engagement and Head of LIFT Labs at Comcast, get together over a glass of wine and discuss being a connector, creating a “symphony of innovation” within organizations, and the art and science of cross-company collaboration.
Danielle directs Comcast’s work with startups, incubators, co-working spaces, investors and entrepreneurs, as well as programs that inspire current and potential Comcast and NBCUniversal talent.
Neha and Danielle discuss:
- The importance of showing up (even in unexpected places) and bringing others with you
- The little known benefits of mentorship
- Founder watch outs, including “happy ears”
- How accelerators can help your startup
The Dreammakers enjoyed a glass of wine while they talked: J.J. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2020. It’s a Riesling from Mosel, Germany with a fresh, fruity delicate flavor.
