Gerard O’Brien, Founder of Texas Entrepreneurial Summit

A great deal of my excitement for this year comes from an opportunity to assist a crucial group of the Houston community: our local entrepreneurs. I believe that a key metric of the health of a region’s society is the success of local business owners.
