Colombian scientist, entrepreneur, and author, Lina Echeverria to speak on leading and managing creativity and innovation

Echeverria's understanding and experience in managing creative talent come to life in this presentation on some of the aspects discussed in her book "Idea Agent: Leadership that liberates creativity and accelerates innovation." For her perspective on building technology careers in corporate America, she dovetails learnings from her own career with the perspective and understanding gained over 25 years.

Echeverria spent twenty-five years inspiring creativity and accelerating innovation at Corning Incorporated, one of America's leading technology companies. She led teams of scientists and researchers that developed everything from the ceramic filters for car exhausts, glasses for TV screens, dental bridges and dinnerware. She created an environment where scientists were both creative and productive, where teams balanced the ability to explore the edges of possibility, while also delivering critical new technology on time and on budget. She was known not just for her ability to effectively lead and manage (and keep happy) creative scientists, she was known for her ability to teach those skills to other leaders.
