Joey Hawilo - stomped ground at the University of Michigan, his setting for exploring entrepreneurship. He built the first University of Michigan focused social network, which enjoyed wild popularity, while Facebook still had the “the”. After completing his degree in Economics, he was installed as President of medical devices company, Transdermal Delivery Systems. As he began leading the company to FDA approval, he was sucked into the SF Bay to join Zimbio.com. As Manager of Business Operations, he learned more about celebrity hairstyles and women’s shoes than any self-respecting man should know. OpenChime was all the excuse he needed to return to his favorite city, Chicago.
