Meet the Presenters

Dr. Louay Chebib
SCORE Utah
IT/IS Professional: Systems Solutions | Innovator | Developer | Consultant | Mentor | Analyst | Leader | PM | Engineer | Professor

I am a resourceful, innovative Information Systems professional who has served in many information technology leadership and hands-on roles in Operational, Systems and Project Management, User/Customer Support, Tool Builder, Systems Migration, Analysis, Design, Development, Process Automation, Programming, Consulting, and as an Educator.

I work closely with internal and external clients. I support all stakeholders and often act as a communication conduit between the technical and non-technical members of the team. I take pride in problem solving and the creation and implementation of practical, real life, business solutions that work.

I teach and practice that the role of good technology is to abstract the complexity and to blend into the background so that the user can accomplish their task rather than be distracted by the tool.

I value knowledge and consider myself a lifelong learner who brings experience-based creativity and solid, practical solutions to complex technical and business issues.

Throughout my career, I have had many opportunities to find the ways to optimize and improve my clients’ processes by taking advantage of available infrastructure and assets and by keeping current with new possibilities. As a matter of principle, I prefer to spend my time looking for a viable solution instead of explaining why something cannot be done.

I give back to the community through volunteerism. I am currently a SCORE small business mentor and a leader in the local Python developer community.

Wendy Bird
SCORE Utah
I began Pearls With Purpose Foundation (501c3) a nonprofit, in 2002 in conjunction with Pearl Partners an LLC which works synergistically to create long term self reliance for disadvantaged women. To date I have trained over 300 women in Philippines, India, Thailand, Cambodia the Dominican Republic and Peru. This international nonprofit work alongside with operating a for profit business in America has given me a unique niche in the entrepreneurship/social impact world

Prior to 2002 I did the traditional career path of 1-newspaper route (age 12), 2-Burger King (age 15) Retail clothing management at Jay Jacobs (16) and Coldwater Creek (age 38) Pizza Hut Delivery girl and Marie Calendars waitress (age 18) along with various other "money-making-skillset-building-tedious-hours-of-toil" jobs to launch myself into "Independent/contributing to society" adult.

I became a Certified High Performance Coach through the High Performance Institute and do international keynote speaking on the topics of Purpose, Influence and Social Mindedness.
