GeekWire Virtual Roundtable | Pivot: Stories of Resilience in an Unprecedented Year

2020 was an extraordinary year. And while it is a year that many want to put in the rearview mirror, powerful stories of resilience emerged as entrepreneurs adapted to an extreme and unprecedented business situation.

In this GeekWire virtual roundtable, we heard inspiring and impactful stories from entrepreneurs and executives who transformed their businesses amid one of the most stressful and chaotic periods in history. We were joined by Seattle Storm CEO and General Manager Alisha Valavanis who helped guide the professional basketball team to their fourth WNBA championship in 2020. We also heard from Brian Canlis owner of Canlis — the landmark Seattle restaurant that's experimented with everything from yurt dining to professional training.
