Rita Gurevich, Founder of SPHERE, delivered an inspiring talk as the 12th annual New Jersey Female Entrepreneur Lecturer on May 8th at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Florham Campus. Her dynamic and engaging presence resonated with the high school students, parents, teachers, deans, and university personnel in attendance.
Gurevich shared valuable lessons from her entrepreneurial journey, highlighting the importance of data governance in the tech industry. She encouraged the aspiring entrepreneurs, including the high school student winners of the New Jersey Business Idea Competition, to believe in their potential to become successful entrepreneurs. “I was thrilled to be able to address a room full of over-achievers. Their energy and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship was inspiring,” said Gurevich. She emphasized key points such as following your gut, being logical, embracing competition, and pursuing your passion.
Gabrielle Zuccaro, Program Administrator at the Rothman Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, expressed her gratitude, saying, “We genuinely appreciate Rita’s honesty and generosity in spending time talking with students and the FDU community. The 45 high school students in attendance will someday be leaders in their own communities, and it is so important that they have someone like Rita Gurevich to look up to as a role model.”
Gurevich joins a distinguished group of NJ Female Entrepreneur Lecturers, including Betty Manetta of Argent Associates, Kathleen DiChiara of Community FoodBank of NJ, and Ann Limberg of Bank of America New Jersey, as part of the Rothman Institute’s Female Lecture series.
