Suzi Sosa

I am the Executive Director of the Dell Social Innovation Challenge and I am passionate about social innovation! I believe that innovation is our best hope for a better future and entrepreneurship is the way to get there.

Having lived my life around innovators and entrepreneurs I have seen that success is a combination of just getting "out there" and also doing the right things when you do. This is the philosophy of the DSIC. Our first priority is to get more students out of the classroom and to start doing things. But, we also realize that there are pathways to success and we hope to equip our students with the best tools, teams and ideas to achieve significant impact as quickly as possible.

Every day innovators and entrepreneurs wow me with their courage, optimism and relentless pursuit of the impossible. It is my privilege and honor to support all innovators and entrepreneurs in any way that we can. Thank you for being part of the DSIC!
