Hereshore-A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats | Lee Farabaugh | TEDxMarshallU

Lee Farabaugh, President and Co-Founder of Core10, talks about her innovative and unique Hereshore model of economic development. Instead of going offshore to outsource talent, Lee recommends outsourcing technology product development to smaller cities in the United States. She explains how training programs and jobs in these smaller communities allow companies to build local economies, provide training and good paying jobs, and allow workers to stay in their own communities while contributing to the local economy. Lee Farabaugh is a senior technology design, operations and business development expert with two decades of experience in financial technology (fintech) and health care IT. In 2016, she co-founded Core10, an innovative software development company with locations in Huntington, W.Va., Morgantown, W.Va., Martin, Tenn., and Nashville, Tenn., pioneering the Hereshore® model for US-based technology outsourcing. She currently serves as President of Core10, and has functioned in a number of roles, moving Core10 from scrappy startup to nationally recognized services firm, including operations, sales, and community development. Prior to Core10, Lee co-founded the Nashville health care software development firm PointClear Solutions, where she served as chief experience officer, chief innovation officer and executive vice president of professional services. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
