Meet Our Board

In 1984, CED was built by founders and business leaders who were committed to growing opportunities for entrepreneurs in North Carolina. Nearly 40 years later, we continue to be led by some of the area’s most talented and successful leaders, committed to ensuring the success of the startup ecosystem in this area. The formation of our board is intentional to ensure balanced representation from each component of the ecosystem: startup, investor, and ecosystem partners.

Our board is led by co-chairs Karl Rectanus and Scott Uknes, representing the technology and biotechnology industries in North Carolina, and supported by an executive committee and larger board of directors to drive our mission forward.
