Chi sono

Hailed as the "Evangelist of entrepreneurship" by The Economist, Carl Schramm leads America's largest foundation dedicated to advancing entrepreneurial success. He is recognized as one of the world's foremost thinkers on the role and importance of entrepreneurship to a nation's economic stability and growth. In 2007, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez tapped Schramm to chair the Department of Commerce's Measuring Innovation in the 21st Century Economic Advisory Committee. Schramm's recent books, Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism (on Amazon), with Robert Litan and William Baumol, and The Entrepreneurial Imperative (on Amazon), are regarded as emerging classics, providing new insight into the American and international economies.

Trained as an economist and lawyer, with experience in business, public policy and academia, Schramm has led the Kauffman Foundation to develop innovative programs aimed at transforming entrepreneurship education, the technology transfer process, the availability of seed capital for entrepreneurs, and economic research. Schramm has been instrumental in the development of a partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce to create an international entrepreneurship resource at Entrepreneurship.gov, and also spearheaded the Foundation's sponsorship of the first-ever Global Entrepreneurship Week, which he announced in November 2007 with UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Schramm has also led Kauffman in the development of an international entrepreneurship fellowship program, which is funded by other governments, including the United Kingdom and Denmark, for aspiring entrepreneurs.

He has been a professor at The Johns Hopkins University, an executive in the health insurance industry, and the cofounder and founder of a number of companies in the health care finance and information technology areas. He is a Batten Fellow at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and the 2005 recipient of the University of Rochester's George Eastman Medal. Mr. Schramm's work has appeared in publications including Foreign Affairs, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Newsweek, and Inc.
