VIDEO SAVED THE RADIO STAR: PORTLAND STARTUP VADIO LANDS KEY EXECS
While there are any number of things that make scaling a startup difficult, finding executive talent that can help transition the company through changes can be one of the most challenging. And it’s often something for which Portland gets dinged—that lack of seasoned executive talent. That’s why it’s nice to see Portland’s Vadio securing some impressive leadership and some more funding.

IF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETHINK A SCHOOL CAMPUS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
It’s an interesting time in education. Models are changing. New ways of learning are being developed. And technology is impacting the learning environment as never before. So if you had the opportunity to start from scratch with a new building designed to educate high school girls—and it was smack dab in the core of Portland—what would you do? That’s the very question St. Mary’s Academy is asking. And you’re invited to join in the conversation.
