What does it take to turn a bold idea into meaningful change? How do innovators navigate uncertainty, challenge conventional thinking, and transform possibility into progress?

Join us for an inspiring conversation with four Johns Hopkins alumni whose pioneering work is shaping the future across education, aerospace, national security, biotechnology, and beyond. Drawing from careers at the forefront of discovery and innovation, these leaders explore the curiosity, creativity, and persistence required to pursue ambitious ideas—and the experiences that have shaped their approach to solving complex problems.

From developing new technologies for learning and contributing to groundbreaking space exploration to strengthening national security and advancing gene-editing therapies for genetic disease, our panelists demonstrate the many forms innovation can take. They reflect on pivotal moments in their careers, the risks and challenges inherent in doing something new, and how their Johns Hopkins experiences helped prepare them to push boundaries and imagine what comes next.

Featured panelists include:

Shelly Blake-Plock (Ed '05), CEO of Yet Analytics, driving innovation in educational technology and data science for learning advancement; Emeritus JH Leadership Fellow (Cohort 3)
Kenneth Harris (WSE '17), aerospace engineer featured by Forbes, contributing to high-profile missions including the James Webb Space Telescope
David Heyman (SAIS '96), nationally recognized thought leader in innovation, risk management, and national security and the founder of three technology companies
Nicole Gaudelli (A&S '13), Entrepreneur in Residence at GV (Google Ventures) and inventor of the adenine base editor (ABE), a groundbreaking gene-editing technology with the potential to transform treatments for sickle cell disease and other genetic disorders.

Our conversation is moderated by Robert Lord (SOM '22), Senior Vice President of Data & Digital Research & Development at Vizient, Emeritus JH Leadership Fellow (Cohort 2).
