Description 

Leading a Venture Capital backed company with disruptive patent-pending technology is challenging any day, but for a non-developer founder, it is even more so. For the development team, working with an entrepreneurial CEO who is constantly challenging the status quo can seem like a roller-coaster ride. Julia MacGregor-Peralta, founder and CEO of Global Safety Management talks about how she navigated the VC world, peered into the “black box” of software development and learned to “speak developer.”  Using her own lessons learned, she will share insights into how you can learn to “speak entrepreneur.”
