She has spent more than 30 years working in, and researching, the education marketplace. Bobbi is a Senior Fellow and Innovation Advisor who launched the nation’s first master’s program in education entrepreneurship; introduced the VOLT program for online teaching; and has overseen the Milken-Penn GSE Education Business Plan Competition, the largest education business plan competition in the country.
She has also contributed significant research and thought leadership on innovation in education ecosystems. She maintains a regular blog on Forbes.com about educational technologies, the educational technology ecosystem, OER, and investing in education.
