The Thesis Behind
Everything We Build
ETA's work is grounded in a conviction that heartland America isn't AI's afterthought — it's its proving ground.
The Team Building
America's AI Future
Two of the most active voices in American AI readiness — a builder and a strategist working in tandem to turn national ambition into regional action.
Summer leads ETA with a conviction that America's AI readiness won't be built by keynote speeches alone — it takes organizational muscle, strategic partnerships, scalable programs, and relentless execution. She is the driving force behind ETA's growth as a national platform.
Zack is the strategic mind behind ETA's regional AI readiness thesis — the conviction that heartland America isn't AI's afterthought, but its proving ground. He oversees programmatic expansion, AI Ready Ohio, and the Intelligent Regions Initiative.
