The Components of a Business Ecosystem

Cecilia is an entrepreneurial ecosystem builder and founder of Mass Collaboration. Her work is centered on collaboration, equity, and community culture. As a certified Cultural Competency and Unconscious Bias facilitator, she moves conversations beyond diversity and inclusion to connecting, engaging, and belonging. Her entrepreneurship path led to winning start-up competitions, a former lead organizer of the Kauffman Foundation’s 1 Million Cups, and a multiple-year US delegate to the Global Entrepreneurship Congress. In addition, she works with Future Agro Challenge (Global) and currently serves on the board of Startup Champions Network, the Institute for Work and the Economy, and has served on over a dozen non-profit boards in her local community ranging from the arts to education and entrepreneurship. She is a former travel industry professional who has lived, worked, and traveled throughout the world. Her favorite person is her son, JD who is currently exploring and enjoying his own global adventures; though Bruce Springsteen is high on her list.
