To celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re focusing on the future of women in STEM. Currently, only 28% of STEM professionals in the U.S. are women and at Best Buy, we think that’s just not good enough.
“We need to empower more girls to go into STEM fields, or we’re not utilizing half of the brain power in the world,” CEO Corie Barry said. “That also means that what gets studied and what gets made will be determined by only half of the population.
Michael Pratt is an entrepreneur with a brain for business and a heart for history.
“I’ve spent time learning all of who I am and where I’ve come from” Michael said. “I take extreme pride in my background because I have knowledge of self, and that’s given me the confidence to take risks that have led to the successes I’ve enjoyed so far.”
Michael’s latest success comes from his new company, Pivet, which introduces different and sometimes never-before-seen tech products to store shelves.
