Guest Bio:
Social entrepreneur Shannon Kenny began her career as a historian after receiving a Master’s Degree in History from UCSB and has worked as a freelance writer, editor, and educator in the fields of history, social sciences, travel, and social change for over 20 years. Shannon is Founder and CEO of Prontopia, a technology startup that provides easy access to in-person help on-demand in 6 cities in Europe and the US. Shannon frequently had the need for a service like Prontopia as a mom traveling alone with 2 young children and also saw the need among her friends, her aging parents, and clients in city centers around the world. The Prontopia business model focuses on building community, and empowering people to utilize technology rather than the other way around. Prontopia is putting the people back in the equation because human services are tragically hard to come by in the digital age. Shannon advocates for greater industry recognition that we cannot dismiss the complexities and interdependencies of people, and the earth, as too difficult for technology solutions.
