Taryn Miller-Stevens Mentor 2010

Describe yourself briefly.

Taryn knew when she walked into the first day of StartingBloc‘s London 2007 Institute for Social Innovation she had found her village. Taryn’s role as Chief Connecting Officer (CCO) focuses on building relationships that breed blended value creation. Specifically Taryn leads strategic program and partnership development at StartingBloc. Taryn graduated from Tufts University, geeking out in inter-disciplinary education through the American Studies and Entrepreneurial Leadership Studies programs. While at Tufts, Taryn felt the pulse of a variety of organizations and businesses through the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service Scholars Program. One of her first tribes, Taryn was inspired by the power of bringing together diverse individuals who have a shared passion and vision for a better world – one where people can do what they love, make money and change the world. Prior to StartingBloc, Taryn worked in the Human Rights department at Reebok International, where she experienced Reebok’s acquisition by The Adidas Group and saw multi-national CSR program expansion firsthand.
