Anne Swift

“Anne is a smart, passionate and innovative leader with a data-driven approach to marketing. I reported directly to Anne at Nuts.com and she played a huge role in helping me grow my career as a digital marketing professional. As CMO, Anne developed a successful marketing strategy and defined clear goals for each channel. She welcomed new ideas and encouraged team members to be proactive and take initiative in their roles. It was a pleasure working with Anne, and I would highly recommend her for future opportunities.”

“Creative, innovative, focused and results oriented are the first characteristics that come to mind when I think of Anne. In all my interactions with Anne I have been impressed with her drive but most importantly with her abilities to focus various, sometimes disparate, ideas towards a common outcome. I admire Anne for how and what she has accomplished with Young Inventors International.”

“Anne is energetic, creative, and highly intelligent, and she does what she says she will do, however high the odds seem against success. I look forward to future collaborations with her.”

“Anne Swift was instrumental in a new company that Mario Landau-holdsworth, Adan Vielma and I started while we were college students. She was a contact point for us that connected us to dozens of experts in the field, including access to the DOW Jones Emerging Ventures forum, where we presented our idea with Young Inventors International. Swift also connected us to experts in industrial design, rapid prototyping and patenting. Her patience, knowledge, and accessibility has been continuously impressive. I recommend Swift to anyone interested in starting a new venture, especially young students who are interested in software, hardware, energy, security and medical innovations and applications.”

“I had an opportunity to work with Anne on a webinar series while she was running the young inventor's organization a couple of years ago. She's smart, well organized, efficient, and a delight to work with. She did everything she said she would, and then some, all of it very well. I recommend her as a professional without reservations.”

“Anne is a special innovator and motivator who has organized young innovators around the world. Highest recommendation.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Anne briefly in her role as President of Young Inventors International. She did a remarkable job in marshaling and organizing disparate resources and people to form a cohesive organization that I am certain was of great benefit to young inventors and entrepreneurs. Anne is a natural and charismatic leader who I am certain will achieve even greater accomplishments as her career progresses.”

“As president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the MIT Enterprise Forum, I first met Anne when she was a panelist for a program on women entreprenuers. I was impressed with her experience and goals for her company. Subsequently, some of my colleagues at Daedalus Excel were able to work with Anne during the 2009 Young Inventors conference, which she organized at CMU. Anne is professional and very organized. She approached the conference organization diligently, and got the most out of her volunteers with her management skills. Anne is a pleasure to work with. She will go far.”

“Over the years I have engaged with Anne in many group exchanges where I have witnessed a brilliant young mind at work. Her ability to be forward thinking and entrepreneurial in identifying and advancing new technologies that will make our world a better place amazes me. Anne has attended many conferences sponsored by the Kingbridge Conference Centre and Institute. During these events thought leaders from many industries gather to discuss topics related to change that needs to occur within our organizations and communities and Anne always surfaces new insights to ponder.”

“Anne has about the best combination of traits having tireless energy while being creative, effective and a real pleasure to work with.”

“I had the great pleasure of working with Anne at Young Inventors International (YII) from 2004 to 2007. Anne is energetic and enthusiastic about everything she does, especially when it comes to entrepreneurship. Over the years her passion for entrepreneurship, manifested in the work she has done through YII, has inspired and helped thousands of entrepreneurs and inventors. I am proud to endorse any initiative that Anne undertakes as I know she will make it a success.”

“I had the privilege of participating in the 5th annual conference of Young Inventors International. Anne did an incredible job organizing the event from start to finish and this is reflected not only in the quality of the speakers she attracted but the glowing reviews from student entrepreneurs. Anne is a consummate entrepreneur who has an amazing track record of coming up with new ideas and making them a reality. A lot of entrepreneurs could learn a lot by following her example. I'm looking forward to collaborating with her in the future.”
