Creative Disruption in the Meeting Place Industry

On October 7 my guest will be Ron Shah, founder and CEO of Bizly. 

An entrepreneur from an early age, Ron’s life has been deeply intertwined into what makes a successful meeting. He spent the last decade as the founder and head of Jina Ventures, a venture capital firm which developed a long & successful track record of technology investing and eventually became a pioneer in emerging market secondaries.

To make ends meet while attaining his MBA at New York University, Ron worked part-time at New York Seminar and Conference center where he sold meeting space to large companies across the country. When he moved on to Jina Ventures, many of his early investments were in the travel and hospitality industry. This unique combination of experiences set the stage for his innovation with Bizly.
