A Conversation with Entrepreneur André Swanston, a This Could Work! Series Program by CT Mirror

CT Mirror Policy Editor Erica Phillips in conversation with Stamford entrepreneur André Swanston of Swanston Labs.

This is a kickoff to the occasional series This Could Work!, an in-person, four-part interview series with successful Connecticut entrepreneurs. The conversation will explore  origin stories, how they turned their first dollar, and why Connecticut was the place to make it happen.

Snacks will be served.

Registration required here.

A UConn graduate and serial entrepreneur, André Swanston is a dynamic tech innovator and media magnate whose ability to forecast industry shifts, identify opportunities and take calculated risks, has catapulted him from $9 in his pocket to one of the only 9-figure exits by a Black American. Currently he's channeling that success into groundbreaking ventures that transform the way content creators, brands, distributors and consumers engage across advertising and entertainment.

A regular contributor to Bloomberg, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and The Hollywood Reporter, Swanston was Co-Founder and CEO of Tru Optik, a data and identity company for streaming media advertising, acquired by TransUnion, where he went on to serve as Vice President of Media and Entertainment.

Presented in partnership with CT Mirror.
