Join CUTEC for a rare Q&A session with serial entrepreneur and angel investor Sherry Coutu. Voted by Techcrunch as the best CEO mentor/advisor in Europe in 2010 and as one of the top 25 ‘most influential people in the wired world’ by Wired magazine in 2011, Sherry plays an influential role in the Cambridge startup ecosystem. During this session, Sherry will canvas her progression from student to entrepreneur as well as her career beginning as a consultant designing databases for investment banks, to launching her first startup in 1995, Interactive Investor plc. Today Sherry Coutu supports multiple companies, though as a self-professed lover of Big-Data, many of the high growth startups she is involved in share this common theme. Attendance is limited, so please sign up now to avoid disappointment. Please register directly via http://qandawithsherrycoutu.eventbrite.com
