Minter Dialogue with Claire Boonstra
Claire Boonstra is a Dutch entrepreneur, who co-founded the acclaimed Layar, the augmented reality mobile platform that was sold to Blippar in 2014. Among a long string of accolades and titles, including Top 50 Most Influential Woman in Tech, Claire is also a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. In 2012, Claire founded Operation Education, a non-profit organization enabling educational leaders to lead the change. In this conversation with Claire, we discuss the amazing WWII story that united us, her founder story and lessons learned at Layar, the value of emotions and, most saliently, her mission to transform education. A powerful purpose.
