In what way are you an entrepreneur, beyond attending these events?
Hi,
How do you define being an entrepreneur? Wikipedia defines as it as follows: “An entrepreneur is a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome.”

Other than working at Deloitte, I am also co-founder of a number of web start ups and run my own e-commerce business. So in some regards I would fit into that category. You can find more information on my Portfolio page.
