SUMMARY:The Business of Mobility
DESCRIPTION:\n\nEvent Details:\nHow Florida Moves People, Commerce & Opportunity\n\nSpeakers: Erika Donalds, Patrick Goddard, Roberto J. Gonzalez, Jonathan Daniels and Caryn Seidman Becker\nAbout the Event\nFlorida continues to grow—and how we move people, commerce, and opportunity will play an increasingly important role in shaping the state’s economic future.\nJoin the Economic Club of Miami for The Business of Mobility: How Florida Moves People, Commerce & Opportunity, a luncheon conversation bringing together leaders from across Florida’s transportation, technology, business, and public-policy landscape.\nFrom passenger rail and roads to aviation, secure identity technology, and the connections between them, our panelists will explore the infrastructure, innovation, investment, and public-private collaboration required to keep one of America’s fastest-growing states moving.\nThe conversation will look beyond transportation simply as a means of getting from one place to another. Mobility is an economic issue—affecting where companies invest, where people live and work, how visitors experience Florida, and how communities throughout the state remain connected to opportunity.\n\nFeatured Panelists\nErika Donalds\nEntrepreneur & Policy Leader\nErika Donalds is an entrepreneur, technology founder, and policy leader whose experience spans business, finance, education, emerging technology, and public policy. She is the founder and chairman of OptimaEd, which pioneered a virtual-reality school and curriculum platform, and previously built her career as a financial executive and managing partner at a multibillion-dollar investment management firm. She brings to the conversation an entrepreneurial perspective on how innovation, technology, policy, and private enterprise can respond to the needs of a rapidly growing Florida. \nPatrick Goddard\nChief Executive Officer, Brightline Florida\nPatrick Goddard leads Brightline Florida, overseeing its multibillion-dollar intercity passenger rail operation as well as more than 1.5 million square feet of transit-oriented development. Under his leadership, Brightline completed its $2.7 billion expansion to Orlando, connecting Central and South Florida, and developed initiatives addressing first- and last-mile connectivity. His experience provides a firsthand perspective on passenger rail, transit-oriented development, tourism, and the changing ways Floridians and visitors move between the state’s major economic centers. \nRoberto J. Gonzalez\nMiami-Dade County Commissioner, District 11\nRoberto J. Gonzalez serves on the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners representing District 11. He currently serves as Vice Chair of the County Commission’s Aviation and Seaport Committee and also serves on the Infrastructure, Innovation and Technology Committee, placing him at the intersection of several issues central to South Florida’s transportation future. An attorney and entrepreneur, Gonzalez brings the local-government perspective to a conversation about infrastructure, innovation, economic development, and regional connectivity.\nJonathan Daniels\nDirector & Chief Executive Officer, PortMiami\nJonathan Daniels serves as Director and CEO of PortMiami, the Cruise Capital of the World® and Cargo Gateway of the Americas®, where he oversees one of the world’s leading cruise ports and one of America’s premier container ports. A maritime and transportation executive with more than three decades of experience, Daniels previously led the Port of Baltimore and Port Everglades and brings a unique perspective on how ports, global trade, tourism, infrastructure, and the movement of goods and people contribute to Florida’s economy.\nCaryn Seidman Becker\nChairman & CEO, CLEAR\nCaryn Seidman Becker is Chairman and CEO of CLEAR, which she acquired out of bankruptcy in 2010 and has grown into a secure identity company with more than 43 million verified users and 62 airport locations.
