Rhonda Binda- Building Smart Cities and Working for Presidents

Today on the episode is Rhonda Binda. Personally, I don’t think much about government. And therefore, I don’t understand it well. But, in the spirit of my Curious City, I’ll happily ask questions. Rhonda has worked for the transition team bringing in the Obama administration and the Trump administration. She’s spent 3 years as the executive director of the Jamaica Center Business Improvement District, bringing an economic turn around to the city. And now, she’s the VP of Policy and Director of Regional Smart Cities initiative for Venture Smarter. Rhonda’s amazing background means she can provide insight into what is otherwise a very confusing business of government, and a world which many of us see in a negative light. She’s got great stories to share about working with 3 presidents, bringing technology into a very traditional city, and founding a tech company focused on re-defining what it means to be a city. So please enjoy my conversation with Rhonda Binda. To learn more about VentureSmarter, visit venturesmarter.com
