About Kaz Brecher

As the daughter of two rocket scientists, Kaz founded Curious Catalyst to marry investigation with action, bringing disruptive agile approaches to urban challenges and a new take on the business of social impact through her experience with lateral thinking, rapid prototyping, and human-centered design. After years working with emerging technology platforms and solving larger cross-disciplinary problems in the digital agency space, she earned her stripes in the start-up world, leading strategy and operations for early social media innovators and then an open-source cloud computing powerhouse focused on the developing world. She graduated from the innovation program at THNK School of Creative Leadership in Amsterdam before helping launch their new campus in Vancouver, where she heads the faculty and runs the Challenge program. She is a Stanford graduate and a Certified Scrum Master.
