Sam English keeps talking about how lucky he is. After 15 years as a serial entrepreneur, he joined the University of South Carolina’s Office of Innovation, Partnerships & Economic Engagement. He loves being able to look at the bigger picture of tech transfer, industry engagement, and boosting entrepreneurship.
