How We Built This: A Blueprint for Accelerating Academic Entrepreneurship

Join us for our next ScholarShare featuring Christy Wyskiel, Senior Advisor to the President for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Johns Hopkins University and Executive Director of Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures (JHTV).

Over the last decade, Christy has helped lead a university-wide transformation in academic innovation—working alongside world-class faculty, staff, and partners to launch more than 200 startups, open state-of-the-art innovation spaces, and secure billions in venture and licensing revenue.

At this event, Christy will reflect on her journey from investor and entrepreneur to university leader—and share how a team-based, collaborative approach helped foster a thriving culture of commercialization.

Whether you’re guiding university innovation efforts, building partnerships, or mentoring early-stage inventors, this ScholarShare offers valuable insights into what it takes to scale impact through teamwork and strategy.
