EnterpriseCorp will welcome one of the foremost angel investors and product developers to keynote the annual Evening of Entrepreneurship.

Frederique Dame is an angel investor with 15 years’ experience building consumer products for both public companies and startups in Silicon Valley. Frederique currently serves on the Board of Directors of Ubisoft (UBI.PA), a leading videogame developer and publisher.

Throughout her career at different US-based digital companies, Frederique has developed a unique expertise for launching consumer products and services. Between 2012 and 2016, as executive product lead, she helped scale Uber from 80 people to over 7,000 and expand the company from 14 cities in four countries to over 400 in 68 countries.
