Mark Cuban, Cindy Robbins, and more: new IGNITION speakers
Two months from now we’ll be kicking off our ninth annual
IGNITION conference in New York City.
We’re excited to announce the latest round of additions to our
packed agenda.
- Prolific entrepreneur Mark Cuban will
return to the stage after speaking at 2014’s event. He’ll be
joined by Felicity Conrad and Kristen
Sonday, the cofounders of one of Cuban’s business
investments, the legal startup Paladin. Paladin aims to help
legal teams sign up for pro-bono opportunities and enables
coordinators to track lawyers’ work. - Barbara Corcoran, the legendary real-estate
mogul and “Shark Tank” star, will be at IGNITION discussing
her decades-long entrepreneurial career.
- Cindy Robbins is the president and chief
people officer at Salesforce. She spearheaded a companywide
initiative, helmed by CEO Mark Benioff, to close the gender
wage gap. The tech company has since dedicated $6 million
toward correcting compensation differences. Learn more about
Salesforce’s unique company culture and benefits, and how
Robbins is continuing to scale new initiatives paving the way
for other companies. - Legendary businessman and venture capitalist Steve
Case will be joined onstage by several of the
entrepreneurs he’s invested in, including Craig
Fuller, the CEO of FreightWaves — the largest provider
of news, content, data, and analytics for the freight and
logistics markets — and Tye and Courtney
Caldwell, the cofounders of B2B beauty-tech platform
ShearShare. - Rachel Holt leads Uber’s New Modalities unit,
which oversees the company’s initiatives around bikes,
scooters, transit, hourly rentals, and more. Ryan
Rzepecki is the CEO and founder of JUMP Bikes, the
dockless electric-bike-sharing startup that Uber recently
acquired. The two will take the IGNITION stage together to
discuss the future of urban transportation. - Cal Henderson is the cofounder and chief
technology officer of Slack, the team-communication and
workplace-messaging platform. Henderson will share how Slack’s
technology is transforming and streamlining the modern work
environment, and how it aligns with boosted employee time
management and productivity.
