More about the Speaker
As a mother of a son with Asperger's Syndrome, Gailynn spent countless hours searching for effective, research-driven tools to help her son; sorting through hundreds of books and websites while navigating through a maze of paperwork for schools, therapists and programs. She realized that there was an enormous need to simplify, organize, and streamline these tools and that's when the idea for Wynsum Arts was born.
Gailynn started Wynsum Arts after a successful career as a director at Starbucks Coffee Company. She is a skilled consultant and executive-level project manager with extensive experience in taking concepts to global implementation. She is a 2011 LEND Fellow and is actively involved in the special needs, developmental disabilities, and autism communities.
About the Impact Speaker Series
Since 2002, the IMPACT Speaker Series has brought highly successful business leaders from a variety of industries to campus to share their experiences and give advice to students and other entrepreneurs on topics ranging from "building a venture around intellectual capital" to "successful entrepreneurship in large organizations" and "socially responsible leadership". The weekly series provides Georgia Tech students, alumni and the Atlanta business community an opportunity to network and learn from successful entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and notable business and non-profit leaders. Events for the series take place in LeCraw Auditorium in the Scheller College of Business at 4:30 pm on Wednesdays, unless otherwise noted.
The series is free and open to the public, and reservations are not required.
