About Alana Vaughn-Phillips
I find the human brain an endlessly fascinating thing. It has the ability to think, reason, imagine, continuously learn & motivate us to do the seemingly impossible. But what I find just as impressive is the collective intelligence we can harness - and progress we can make - by putting our brains together.This is why I love cultivating connection, curiosity, collaboration & learning between people from different backgrounds, industries & cultures, & fueling the right conditions for serendipity, synergy & inspiration to emerge. Because cross-pollination isn’t just good for plants - it’s good for ideas, innovation, and ultimately business.Most recently led investment deal flow at Rockies Venture Club, the longest running angel investor group in the U.S. Also a Global Fellow in Social Impact at MovingWorlds Institute, an accomplished startup & innovation consultant, researcher & product tester for iconic brands & new startups alike, & mentor through Techstars, Day One & more. As a former strategy consultant & global program manager in corporate innovation & change leadership, I've built a robust global network of influential business minds & trailblazers, and had the privilege to design & deliver multi-day immersive, transformative executive learning events in 14 countries between Executive Committees & top-of-house leaders from admired Fortune 500s (incl. L'Oréal, Daimler Mercedes Benz, Deutsche Telekom, Siemens, thyssenkrupp, Saint-Gobain & more) and subject matter experts from the world's most inspiring & innovative organizations (incl. Tesla, Apple, Amazon, Airbnb, Google, Facebook, Slack, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Netflix, Nike, Adidas, LEGO, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, GE, Electronic Arts, Adobe, Autodesk, Buzzfeed, VICE, 500 Startups, Microsoft, Salesforce, IKEA, IDEO & many others).Previously a 2x Co-Founder in CleanTech startups - most recently with a "better-for-you" clean FoodTech startup, and previously with an award-winning design & "green" textile technology startup that was named “Top 5 Most Promising Startups in the World” (Kauffman Foundation) & nominated for a TED award.Additionally spent >6 years as a strategy consultant in sustainable luxury hotel, spa, health & wellness design, where I managed international project teams across Europe, the Americas, Africa & Asia. Lived, worked & studied in 6 countries across 5 continents, travelled to >37, and am a zealous runner, ski mountaineer, adventurer & accomplished athlete who enjoys spending free time with my husband & 3 rescue dogs exploring the great outdoors & places with rich histories :)
