The Innovation Economy: Winning the 21st Century
Listen now
Description
In both the private sector and in government, Julius Genachowski has been recognized as a bold and accomplished leader in technology, media, and telecommunications. As chairman of the Federal Communications Commission from 2009 to May 2013, he focused the FCC on broadband, successfully driving major initiatives to extend high-speed Internet access, free up spectrum, preserve Internet freedom, and promote competition. His tenure saw a strengthening of America's tech-related global competitiveness, and Wired named the FCC one of its Top 7 Disruptions. For a decade prior, Genachowski helped build IAC/InterActiveCorp, which operated multiple Internet and media businesses, including Expedia, Ticketmaster, and USA Network. Rolling Stone has listed Genachowski as one of 100 People Changing America. Genachowski and journalist Ezra Klein will discuss what lies ahead for the innovation economy.
