COLLEEN CONNORS

Creating and moving are two of my loves. Creating has led me to found Bquipped, an online search engine for athletes to find their ideal sports equipment based on athlete recommendations and data.

As a Brownie in girl scouts we were taught to always leave a campsite better than we had found it. As an exchange student in the Netherlands we were taught that we were ambassadors and representatives of our countries. These little lessons stay with me years later as I explore the world and try to leave it a little better than how I found it.

I grew up in Philadelphia, PA and Moorestown, NJ before heading out into the wide wonderful world. And am lucky enough now to be able to call many countries and cities home.

UPenn for undergrad, Babson for my MBA in entrepreneurship and a career in fixed income with Schroder Investment Management have all added to the repertoire of knowledge, friends and curiosity.

I love a belgium ale, a game of field hockey, a window seat on a plane over the pond and helping others reach goals thought otherwise unachievable. I believe anything and everything are possible.
