Dina Rousset: Program Manager, Launch Chapel Hill
When a startup business can succeed outside of its shared workspace at Launch Chapel Hill, Dina feels like dancing in her office.
After all, she’s done it before. The Launch program manager partied in the Rosemary Street building in 1992, back when the now-thriving business incubator was a nightclub, and she was a freshly minted MBA graduate. She and colleagues from the nation’s top business schools trained in the space by day to prepare for overseas assignments – she was on her way to Poland – and returned at night to drink and dance.
“It was my first time in Chapel Hill,” says Dina, a New Orleans native whose eyes survey the sunny, brightly colored office that bears no trace of its seedy past. “There was something about this place, about Chapel Hill itself. I always hoped to return.”
