The Raymond V. Haysbert, Sr. Entrepreneurship Lecture panel discussion will feature the following UMBC alumni: 

Josh Massey '14, B.A. Interdisciplinary Studies
COO & Co-Founder, Ortus Academy
When you combine Josh’s background of leadership development, entrepreneurship, coaching, experiential education, and being a dad, it is no surprise to those that know him that Ortus Academy was the outcome. Ortus Academy teaches people to be Financially Intelligent – meaning to understand the mechanics of money and to be aware of their own habits and emotions. They start with a highly interactive physical game, then use the game as a springboard to teach personal finance and conscious capitalism.

Dr. Donald Miner '10, B.S. and Ph.D. Computer Science
Founding Partner, Miner & Kasch
Donald started in government contracting doing large-scale data analysis, then moved into a sales engineering role doing similar work for a large technology vendor. After a stint as a CTO of a government contractor, he started his data science and machine learning consulting company, Miner & Kasch, in 2015 with fellow UMBC Ph.D. alumnus Niels Kasch. The company was bootstrapped by the founders and since inception has grown to over 30 employees across the U.S. working for several high-profile companies across multiple industries.
