Meet the people who make it all possible...
Hello, Anthony Fasano here. When I started EMI back in 2009, it was me, a laptop, and a dream of helping engineers. A lot has changed since then.
Over the years, I began working with more and more talented professionals to help me achieve our goals. I hired freelance designers, business coaches, specialized agencies, lawyers, accountants, web developers, event coordinators, and others. They all were and continue to be important in serving our audience of engineering professionals.
However, one day, I realized that if EMI was going to achieve its mission of providing engineering professionals with a path to become better leaders through learning transfer on large scale, I would need help. I would need a team!
I started by giving our first freelancer, Betty, a more prominent role, and from there found Angelique and continued building our team. Today, the team consists of our staff, plus a plethora of talented instructors and content creators.
Now, we are a growing team, which will help us to better serve you! Without further ado, here’s the team…
