Special Guest: Tammy Wincup, President, Protocol
Tammy is the President of Protocol, a new media company focused on the people, power and politics of tech. Technology is no longer an industry. It’s a global power center with the sweep and impact of any nation's capital. We plan to cover it like one. From the publisher of Politico, Protocol will equip executives, investors, innovators, and policymakers with the reporting and insights they need to understand a world in rapid change.
In 2019, Tammy was a Senior Advisor to The RISE Fund. The RISE Fund is a $2 billion global impact fund led by private equity firm TPG in collaboration with a group of renowned stakeholders including U2 lead singer Bono.
From 2010 to 2019, Tammy was the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at EVERFI, the leading education technology company focused on using digital learning to teach learners of all ages critical skills. As COO, Tammy oversaw EVERFI’s 600 team members; led the development of national and global corporate partnerships; oversaw the development of EVERFI’s digital learning technology platform; and spearheaded the implementation of that technology in over 21,000 K-12 schools and 1500 college campuses, and supporting the over 4,000 corporate customers that purchased the technology. Founded in 2008, EVERFI is a venture-backed company with investments from TPG, The RISE Fund, Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos, Twitter Founder Evan Williams, and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt.
Early in her career, Tammy worked in South Africa and Egypt leading economic growth projects for Price Waterhouse’s International Strategy Group. She returned to the United States to run customer success for a technology start-up in San Francisco, and at Diamond Technology Partners, a public company focused on helping Fortune 500 companies innovate with technology. After September 11th, 2001, Tammy was appointed to the U.S. Department of State, where she helped develop and manage a $300 million fund focused on economic and education foreign assistance to the Middle East. In 2006, she refocused in the U.S. working with leading companies on business plans.
Tammy is a Pahara – Aspen Institute Fellow, a competitive program for leaders. She also serves as a Board Trustee at E.L. Haynes Public Charter School in Washington, D.C.
