Cory Cary Senior Program Manager IBM

N Y Nmedia .c om

Cory Cary’s most recent position in social service was as chief of staff in the Commissioner’s Office at the New York City Department of Homeless Services. She served as a key adviser to the senior leadership team overseeing an annual budget of $1 billion, a staff of 1,900, and more than 200 shelters for 50,000 homeless New Yorkers a night. In 2014, Cary left city government to pursue a career at IBM in corporate citizenship and corporate affairs. She leveraged her experience at DHS to help IBM develop a data management solution which IBM grants to qualified nonprofits who lack the resources to develop their own. This system tracks key contract, program and client data, allowing nonprofits to measure client outcomes and progress against their contract and program requirements. The most important value of the system is that it provides nonprofits with access to their data in a centralized location that is easily accessed using standard report and export functionality. Having this data at their fingertips, nonprofits can now better understand their clients, evaluate the success of their programming, and respond to funders more efficiently. Cary received her bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley and her master's in social work from Columbia University.

Servicing over 300 of the Fortune 1000 companies in the United States, Thomas Capone’s clients include the Department of Homeland Security, The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S Secret Service. Thomas Capone is also executive director of the New York Distance Learning Association. His idea behind the New York Distance Learning Association is that everything is now about distance learning, not just higher education. The NYDLA brings not only the technology – but also smart subject matter experts to those who must master this new world of global distance learning to be successful. There are several secrets to Capone’s long term success. The first is to find what you would do for free – then figure out how to make money by doing it. Secondly, listen twice as much as you speak. And by listen, he means all communications, especially the non-verbal. “The ability to read body language is such an asset to anyone in business," Capone says. "If you can understand people’s thoughts and motivations, the rest is just details.” Capone remains focused on expanding the NYDLA as the premier distance learning organization in the USA.

For over three decades, Thomas Olson has been a business systems engineer and analyst in the communications, aerospace and publishing sectors, adding value for a wide range of companies from Lockheed-Martin to Martha Stewart to Consumer Reports. He is a seasoned specialist in enterprise content management, digital asset management and data security. Olson is a serial entrepreneur.

This year, he helped found the nonprofit Center for Space Commerce and Finance in Texas, which sponsors the NewSpace Business Plan Competition. This project has awarded over $300,000 in grant and sponsor money to winning tech startups.
