I am new to the idea of a Next Economy (coming from being rooted in the traditional, capitalistic economy for 17 years as a Director of Operations and Development of a large-scale event production company) and have learned a tremendous amount while forming a multi-stakeholder platform cooperative in my new role as a Co-Founder of Hudsy Cooperative. Hudsy is a cooperative video streaming platform that brings localized content creation and wide-spread distribution together while sharing equity between workers, creators, and the local community. Outside of work I enjoy cooking, supporting the contemporary craft world, silly TV shows, and reading.
