This past July, Justin Bibb, Chief Strategy Officer at Urbanova, joined us for a discussion about how technology and entrepreneurship can be a tool to build stronger and more equitable midsize cities.

A Cleveland native and Case Western Reserve University alum, Bibb became the Chief Strategy Officer at Urbanova, a public-private partnership for smarter, healthier cities, in May 2020. Prior to that, he was the Vice President of Corporate Strategy at KeyBank and Senior Consultant and Head of Global Cities Practice at Gallup, an analytics and advisory company. Bibb also serves on the boards of Destination Cleveland, Teach for America Greater Cleveland, LAND Studio, Inc., and the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority.

This conversation was facilitated by CWRU student Darrell Butler (CWR '20), who is pursuing his BA in History.
