Dreaming Big: Strategic Connections Shape Global Success
Every achievement, every breakthrough in business, starts with a vision—a dream of what could be. For members of Global Chamber, these dreams aren’t just abstract goals; they are carefully nurtured through strategic connections, collaboration and shared growth.
This week, we celebrate four inspiring connections that embody the potential to create extraordinary global impact. These connections are about aligning dreams, exchanging knowledge and leveraging collective potential to achieve global success.

1. Saeed Amid and Marc Cohen: A Dream of Global Impact
Marc Cohen, a global leader in business and social impact, recently connected with Saeed Amidi, the visionary founder and CEO of Plug and Play. Their introduction was made possible through Dr. Sanjeev Khagram, and their meeting at Global Chamber sparks global opportunity. Saeed spoke last week at the Global Chamber International State of the Metro PHX, as he shared a vision of innovation that Marc aligns with perfectly. Together, they represent the kind of global leadership and impact that can create real, lasting change. Their strategic connection could lead to new partnerships, innovations, and success for all involved.

2. Mayor Kate Gallego and Pankaj Pramanik: Bridging Dreams and Capital
Pankaj Pramanik, inspired by other members of Global Chamber, made his first visit to CES this month. There, he connected with the dynamic City of Phoenix team, including the Mayor Kate Gallego. Pankaj’s focus on access to capital, especially for mid-sized and larger firms in the semiconductor industry, aligns perfectly with the city’s vision for growth. This meeting is another beginning for a larger conversation about how Phoenix supports businesses that are poised for global success including the dream and reality of a thriving ecosystem where capital flows allow business to scale to new heights.

3. Brett McMickell & Mayor Kate Gallego: Innovating for a Connected Future
At CES2025, Brett McMickell, CTO of Kubota, created a buzz with his award-winning technology, podcasts, and participation in the Global Chamber - Incheon Free Enterprise Zone (IFEZ) event. And his reconnection and collaboration with Mayor Kate Gallego there also illustrates how innovation meets strategic partnership. Through Global Chamber, we reconnected Brett with the City of Phoenix, furthering the foundation for future collaborations. This connection is already leading to more ongoing development, where cutting-edge technology and city-driven initiatives come together to build a more connected, innovative future.

4. Dr. Wonsok Yun & Doug Bruhnke: Bridging South Korea and the World
One of the most exciting events at CES2025 was the Incheon Connecting Night, an event at the Wheel House that Global Chamber supported by bringing dozens of leaders to the spectacular venue overlooking the city. Dr. Wonsok Yun, Commissioner of the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ), led a delegation of 40 companies, and through the event, an MOU was signed between IFEZ and Global Chamber. This agreement will connect South Korean companies with clients, investors and partners around the world, creating a global bridge to drive innovation, investment, and success across borders. It has already started!
