Commercialization Leadership

I've spent my career making complex things commercially meaningful.

I’m Tara Heptinstall, Founder and CEO of Envīveo. For three decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of strategy and execution—helping organizations turn complex ideas and technologies into meaningful market opportunities, then building the teams, systems and capabilities needed to bring those strategies to life.

My perspective is also informed by my work mentoring technology founders through Techstars and by my research at the University of Edinburgh into the challenges founders encounter as they build and commercialize new ventures.
