Profiles in Tech Entrepreneurship: Ellen Christopherson.

We continue the IEEE Engineering Management Review Technology Manager's Notebook series of tech entrepreneur profiles, the movers and shakers in technology industries. Entrepreneurship requires change agents, leaders who are innovative, proactive, and risk-takers. Entrepreneurship often requires technology and engineering insights. In these articles, we provide a look at the innovative thought processes and practices of these entrepreneurs—what got them where they are today. We also tap into their experiences in order to share lessons learned with the broader community. Many of these entrepreneurs will be attending Technology and Engineering Management Society events over the next couple years. Take the opportunity to meet them as you can, especially if you are thinking about launching your own new venture. Our featured entrepreneur for this article is Ellen Christopherson.
