Schlossberg, who grew up in Baltimore in an ultra-orthodox Jewish household where her father was a rabbi and mother a teacher, left home at 14 for Israel to pursue her studies there and where she got her first bachelor's degree at age 19, in math and computer science, and immediately got a job in the Israeli technology industry in 1999. She started with Amdocs as a project man- ager and business analyst, where she led the development and implementation of projects for Verizon and SBC (currently AT&T), accord- ing to a bio provided on her. She later was a senior business analyst/project manager at Hewlett-Packard during which she participat- ed in the New York City Emergency Communi- cation Transformation Program after 9/11 as a liaison to the fire department and developed and implemented GIS and other solutions to improve emergency response in the five bor- oughs. Prior to founding EZBZ, she was the founder and CEO of Israel Now, a chain of 40 local news websites in Israel, which offered comprehensive advertising, marketing and PR solutions for more than 25,000 local and small businesses. During her career, she also got a master's degree in bioinformatics in Israel and, after moving to Dallas with Amdocs, got another bachelor's in premed at the University of Texas-Arlington, thinking she'd become a neurosurgeon, before she changed gears. If she weren't running EZBZ and trying to transform Hartford's economy, Schlossberg said she'd probably be a neurosurgeon, travel- ing the world as an opera singer (she sings opera professionally) or seeking the presidency. "I have my eyes set on Washington," she said. "You have to think big." n H B J P H O T O | J O H N S T E A R N S Shana Schlossberg displays a rendering of Innovate Hartford's 27,453-square-foot, two-floor space, which will feature desks for co-working, private offices, common areas with high tops and couches for lounging and net- working, an area for games like Ping Pong, a meditation room, conference rooms and a robotics/wearables lab.
