On this episode of Northwestern Intersections, your host Helen Kim ’16, speaks with Vlada Bortnik ’01, the CEO and founder of the app Marco Polo and Joya Communications. Marco Polo is a video chat app that allows users to connect with friends and family on their own time, without the pressures of curated social media or a scheduled video chat.

Vlada helps us think about screen time and screen fatigue in new ways, while sharing candid insights from the C-suite and her home during the coronavirus pandemic and anti-racist movement.
