Top innovators from Google will address students at the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley next month as part of the first Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum of the 2009-2010 academic year. The event, titled “Innovating at Scale within Google,” will take place on August 27th.
Co-sponsored by the Lester Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Dean’s Speaker Series, the panel will draw four noted innovators – including two Haas alumni – from the Silicon Valley search engine giant to discuss unusual approaches to product launches.
Panelists include
• John Hanke, MBA ‘96, director of product management, Google Earth, Maps, and Local
• Michael Jones, Google’s chief technology advocate
• Jamie Dinkelacker, engineering manager of the Google Launch Team
• Anthony Levandowski, BS ‘02 (Industrial Engineering/Operations Research), MS ‘03 (Industrial Engineering/Operations Research), a Google software engineer
In discussing product development at Google, the panelists will share strategies regarding goal setting, team size and management approaches while relating their experiences developing and launching Google’s “Geo” tools, including Google Earth and Maps.
A networking reception will precede the panel discussion, which will take place from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Arthur Andersen Auditorium.
