Entrepreneurship is all about the power to innovate and determine how new ideas can be formed, according to Anastasia “Tracy” Raissis, director of Worldwide Financial Risk and Economic Development at Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The event, held October 20-22, looked at the power of the side hustle and how a business shifts during challenging times.
Everything stems from innovation, according to Ms. Raissis. “Innovation is not just about making new things, it’s also about making things new,” she said. “It’s a transformative process and part of the art of possibility.”
Ms. Raissis drew on her decades of experience to address GCU faculty, students, and guests.
