  • Ms. Jennifer Piepszak, CEO, Chase Card Services
  • Ms. Susan Lyne, President and Founding Partner, BBG Ventures
  • Mr. Draymond Green, Forward, Golden State Warriors & Entrepreneur
  • Mr. Harvey Speak, Executive Chairman, Managing Partner, Equinox

Mr. Draymond Green credits Lebron James for inspiring NBA players to start businesses while playing. “Walk into our locker room, you’ll hear more about business than basketball."
Ms. Susan Lyne explains the logic behind BBG Ventures, a fund that backs startups with at least one female founder: "If you look at who the consumers of new technology products are...it's still primarily women."
