The Visionary in Residence gives Collaborative members access to an accomplished business leader whose experience expands how they think about what they're building and what may be possible next.
Throughout their residency, the Visionary shares perspective drawn from their own journey—how they built, the decisions that shaped their success, the challenges they navigated and the lessons they learned along the way. VISIONARY IN RESIDENCE
Our current Visionary in Residence is Ms. Cathy Hughes, Founder and Chairwoman of Urban One, one of the largest Black-owned media companies in the country. A pioneering entrepreneur and media executive, she built the company from a single radio station into a multimedia enterprise spanning radio, television and digital media.
Collaborative members have dedicated time with Ms. Hughes to share what they're building, talk through the opportunities and challenges in front of them, and receive her perspective, advice, guidance, and direction.
It's rare access to a business leader who has spent decades building, growing, navigating change and creating opportunities at an extraordinary level.
