Who you are defines how you build.

This is the entrepreneurial thought leader series.

Brought you by Stanford E. Corner.

Welcome everyone to the second of the three special live ETL episodes,

as TVP is presenting this summer

before we kick off the fall quarter in late September.

I'm Rita Katila, professor

in Stanford's management science and engineering department

and research director of STVP.

Today, I'm excited to be hosting a conversation

with John Ziger. John is a co-founder and the executive director of a nonprofit called Responsible Innovation Labs.

We are doing much research and teaching on Responsible Innovation at Stanford.

And when I heard that John is heading Responsible Innovation Labs, I thought,

we need to find out more. So what Responsible Innovation Labs does, they are working to create

tools and ethics-based frameworks to help technology-based startup scale in responsible ways.

Before Responsible Innovation Labs, John was the General Counsel of Stripe,

where he built and oversaw the company's legal,

public policy, and corporate security functions

and helped Stripe scale from a very small startup

to one of the largest fintech companies in the world.

Before Stripe, John spent almost a decade at Microsoft, where he oversaw the legal functions for Microsoft certs, advertising, and other online properties.

Welcome, John, to ETL. How's your day so far?
