Stories of Technology, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship in the Southeast

Cintrifuse, Cincinnati’s start-up catalyst group, has named a new Chair of its Board of Directors, and we noted two things in the announcement.

First, Guy Persaud is the third Procter & Gamble executive to lead the organization in the volunteer role. His selection brought back memories of the history of the organization and the strong corporate commitment to the ecosystem that Wendy Lea shared during the “Future865” event in 2017 (see teknovation.biz article here).

Second, Persaud upped the goal for the organization, saying he wants the region the No. 1 startup hub in the country. Since the founding of Cintrifuse in 2012, being number one in the Midwest has been its goal.
