Joining us is the dynamic Anne Gemmell, a force of nature in policy-making and entrepreneurship, who has left an indelible mark on fields ranging from education to tech. Anne's storytelling captivates as she recounts her pivotal role in Philadelphia's sweeping advancements in early childhood education through the Pre-K for PA campaign. Witness the evolution of a career that refuses to be pinned down, as Anne transitions into a 'collaboration architect', guiding leaders of large institutions in crafting strategic partnerships that reshape problem-solving.

She speaks to the humility of starting anew in life's later chapters and the courage it takes to align one's work with deeply held values. Anne's experiences serve as a compass for navigating the complex terrain of innovation, technology, and business, urging us to redefine success and find harmony between our personal aspirations and professional endeavors.
