Our friends at C100 announced earlier this year that Michael Buhr is their new executive director, as well as joining the board. Some of you may know Michael. He has served in leadership roles at industry giants like Apple, Adobe, and eBay and is an entrepreneur, having founded and served as CEO of several early-stage companies.
“There has always been a special connection with the Digital Moose Lounge, the Canadian expat community in the Bay Area, C100, and the Canadian Consulate. It underscores the strength of our Canadian ties and fosters a massive network that benefits us all. I am committed to deepening these relationships and leveraging our shared heritage to empower Canadian tech entrepreneurs and elevate our collective impact in Canada, and globally.”
With Michael on board, we look forward to building more connections among the C100 and Canadian Consulate and DML community! Congratulations Michael!
