SuitUp Incorporated

And the winner is… Battle of the Boroughs…you brought out the best yet again. This year, SuitUp Incorporated sought out financial services companies to coach teams of high school students in its 3rd Annual Battle of the Boroughs. Financial services professionals, such as those from Santander coached teams of 8-10 students through a business challenge. The winning team from each borough then went “head to head" in a true battle of the boroughs final. Students walked away from the experience with a greater understanding of the financial services industry and the business world as a whole, and the confidence that the corporate world can be part of "their world" and that any job title -- CEO included -- is now within grasp. Thank you to the Bronx and Brooklyn Borough Presidents for making a special guest appearance! Congratulations to this years winner…The Bronx!!!!! Huge shout out to Santander for being a Premier Sponsor!!! Turney Singh Baba Steven Jordan-Smith SuitUp Incorporated Office of the Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso Hon. Vanessa L.

We were thankful to join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) sales team onsite in Austin, TX, to support SuitUp Incorporated's mission of bridging the gap between corporate America and the education system. The event challenged local high school students to invent a new Amazon service that addressed a social issue. Mentors from #AWS and #SnapSoft brainstormed and helped the students refine their idea, then the students competed in a Shark Tank-like pitch competition to a panel of judges. Big thanks to Daniela Lebron from #SuitUp who facilitated, Ryan Beinner who coordinated everything and our fabulous judges Wayne Burchett, Patrick Purnell & Laquisha Pinkston. #SuitUp #Austin #SnapSoftTeam #AWSSales AWS Partners #Partnership #Mentorship #CorporateEngagement #StudentInnovation #TechForGood
