CHRIS HEIVLY, VP for Innovation Techstars; Co-Founder Mapquest and The Start-Up Factory Accelerator 

“Never in a million years would I have expected that the architect of an entrepreneurial eco-system could be a Chamber of Commerce executive.  But here in Durham, I’ve been proven wrong. Casey led the team that built this now thriving entrepreneurial hub from the ground up. She has a keen understanding of the pieces of the entrepreneurial ecosystem,  but an equally important knack for knowing when to step in and deliver it versus seed it and let them own it. ”
