TAF Presents: This is The Work Podcast Featuring MyTam Nguyen and Ian Freed

My Tam is an external affairs executive with a decade of experience in government relations, community engagement, new media strategy, and stakeholder development. She’s worked in government at the city and state levels, in political campaigning, and in modular housing technology to address the housing and homelessness crisis. She has a masters in urban planning from Harvard University and a journalism degree from the University of Washington. Her education and fellowships have taken her to work on applying smarter city strategies to immigrant business corridors in France and Italy, to working with small holder African-American farmers in the South to build new economic development models for sustainable growth. In her spare time she sits on a number of community boards, hosts food tours in Seattle’s ethnic food districts, and revels in the stunning hikes and beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She’s currently looking for opportunities to use her talents, skills and experience to bridge political and economic capital to address the urgent issues of our time on a global scale. She has a specific interest in bridging technology and innovation with policy and governance to build healthy communities and address major infrastructure and basic human needs (shelter, water, food, health, transportation, and education). Ian Freed, is a former Amazon.com Vice President of Devices and 30-year technology business veteran. He has recently become head of TAFs TSP-CS 2.0 and aims to take TSP-CS 1.0 a step further by incorporating dozens, hundreds, and eventually thousands of technology industry experts to help not only TAF’s newly expanded school TAF@Saghalie in King County, but ultimately any school that shares TAF’s vision.
