In this episode we interview Kathy Henrich, CEO of Milwaukee Tech Hub Coalition. MKE Tech Hub Coalition is a non-profit organization working to inclusively double tech talent in the Milwaukee region.

The MKE Tech Hub Coalition is a unifying voice for the Milwaukee tech ecosystem. They harness the power of companies, entrepreneurs, educators, community organizations and other area stakeholders to grow tech talent and innovation in the Milwaukee region.

As Milwaukee rises as a tech community, so does the demand for tech workers – there are more tech jobs than people to fill these roles.

The Coalition was formed to address this need. Their work spans establishing a diverse and inclusive talent pipeline, amplifying the voice of members, and creating meaningful connections that serve as a catalyst for innovation in the #mketech community.
