Join Professor El ham Marzi (ISTEP) in conversation with U of T Engineering alumnus and entrepreneur Ian Small (EngSci 8T6\, MSc CompSci 8T9 ) as he shares insights and advice gained from over three decades of worki ng in engineering startups and management.
\nTopics will include how to manage and lead change\, how to make challenging organizational decisi ons\, and how to help employees and company culture navigate transitions.< /p>\n
Ian Small has spent more than 30 years in S ilicon Valley since graduating from the University of Toronto\, working in tech companies ranging from three-person startups to 100\,000-employee mu ltinationals. He first worked as a software engineer\, and spent time in s oftware engineering management and software product management before tran sitioning into a range of business leadership roles.
\nIan currently serves on the boards of Lumentum (NASDAQ:LITE\, one of the world’s leadin g manufacturers of lasers and photonic devices) and Snapdocs (a venture-ba cked startup driving mortgage automation). Ian has worked with a number of Sequoia Capital portfolio companies\, including working as CEO of Evernot e (personal productivity software)\, CEO of TokBox (video platform-as-a-se rvice)\, and a lengthy stint with MarkLogic (NoSQL database). Ian also ser ved as Global Chief Data Officer at Telefónica\, following its acquisition of TokBox\, served on the advisory board to Loon (a Google X Labs spinout )\, and started his Silicon Valley career in the Human Interface Group at Apple Computer.
\nIan’s experience in Silicon Valley includes fundra ising\, tech mergers and acquisitions (both as buyer and seller)\, and tec h spinouts.
