About Us.
Global Skills Day is chaired by Gary A. Bolles, author of The Next Rules of Work (Kogan Page, August 2021). Bolles is a frequent lecturer, writer and consultant on the future of work, learning, and the organization. He serves as the Chair for the Future of Work for Singularity University.
Global Skills Day is produced by Heidi C. Kleinmaus, a former entertainment and international marketing executive, and frequent conference producer and speaker manager.
Together they are Charrette LLC, a San Francisco-based consultancy that has served as:
- Co-founders of SoCap, SocialCapitalMarkets.net, launched in 2008 to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and other influencers to collaborate on developing businesses with a purpose.
- Producers of Fulcrum: Strategies for an inclusive future of work, a 2019 conference in Detroit, Michigan, with sponsors such as Ford Foundation and Google.org.
- Producers of Closing The Gap: Strategies for an Inclusive Economy, a 2015 conference in Palm Beach, Florida, on the growing gap between haves and have-nots in the U.S., with speakers like Tony Blair, Tom Friedman, Robert Reich, and Xavier de Sousa Briggs.
- Co-producers of DGREE: The Future of Higher Education,, a 2010 conference that highlighted many of the systemic issues that are “unbundling” higher education.
- Co-founders of the U.S. Broadband Coalition, an initiative that culminated in 2009 with 137 organizations collaborating to draft a national broadband strategy, to the benefit of municipal initiatives across the country.
They are also co-founders of eParachute.com, providing career-change strategies for a range of populations, from the work of What Color Is Your Parachute?, the world’s enduring career manual.
