About Brian Vierra
As the Venture Catalyst Director at EDCO, I drive entrepreneurship, innovation, and the growth of the startup ecosystem in Central Oregon, by building relationships, providing mentorship, connecting entrepreneurs with resources, and facilitating economic development initiatives. I leverage my 25 years of global experience in developing and leading start-up to midsize organizations in the technology, travel, and tourism sectors.My core competencies include fundraising and investment opportunities, financial planning and analysis, treasury and foreign exchange, and operational efficiency and excellence. In my previous role as the VP of Operations & Finance at TrovaTrip, an online travel platform, I oversaw and managed the financial and operational aspects of the organization, achieving year-over-year revenue growth, profitability, and productivity. I also have a reputation for building and leading effective teams and implementing continuous improvement processes across back-of-the-house operations. My mission is to foster the growth and development of the Central Oregon region as an attractive destination for entrepreneurs.
