Devin Thorpe Author & Crowdfund Expert
from The Topknot Creative Show Hosted by Topknot Creative
He believes in using social entrepreneurship or impact investing to leave your mark. In fact, his first published book shares stories of how others have done just that with extraordinary results. Devin's background in finance started with running a boutique investment banking firm and a small mortgage company. He served as the Treasurer for the multinational vitamin manufacturer USANA Health Sciences years before becoming CFO for MonaVie. Over his career he led or advised on the successful completion of $500 million in transactions. Devin squeezed in two brief stints in government, including two years working for Jake Garn on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee Staff and another year working for an independent state agency called USTAR, where he helped foster technology entrepreneurship during Governor Jon Huntsman’s administration. Devin is proud to have graduated from the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business, which recognized him as a Distinguished Alum in 2006. He also earned an MBA at Cornell University where he ran the student newspaper, Cornell Business. Today, Devin channels the idealism of his youth with the loving support of his wife, Gail. Their son Dayton is a PhD candidate in Physics at UC Berkeley (and Devin rarely misses an opportunity to mention that). Now, as an author, a popular guest speaker and Forbes contributor, Devin is devoted full time to championing social good. He's written three books and working on a third specifically focused on crowdfunding. Learn more about Devin at http://yourmarkontheworld.com.
