69. Tech that Enables Remote Work & Learning (Nancy Knowlton)

Nancy Knowlton is the co-founder and CEO of Nureva Inc., an award-winning technology company that builds audio conferencing solutions that supports hybrid meetings and learning experiences. There are many important elements to effective learning and collaboration. The ability to hear clearly is one of those important issues that can easily be ignored when we think about innovative ways of learning and working. However, Nureva addresses this important issue with an innovative patented technology called Microphone Mist™ technology, that fills a space with thousands of virtual microphones to provide full room audio pickup and truly enable remote participation. Prior to founding Nureva, Nancy was the CEO of SMART Technologies Inc., which she co-founded in 1987 with her husband David Martin in Calgary, Canada. One of the iconic products they created was the SMART Board® interactive whiteboard that changed the way people worked and learned around the world in millions of meeting rooms and classrooms. Over the years SMART Technologies grew to a global company with annual revenues just under $800 million. Nancy has received numerous awards, including Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year. In 2015, she received the C21 Shifting Minds National Award for her distinctive achievements in 21st-century learning and innovation.
