Jay Rogers is the founder and CEO of Local Motors, a technology company that is redefining vehicle development by pairing micro-manufacturing with co-creations. This next-generation car company is the first to utilize Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) in vehicle production, and debuted the world’s first 3D-printed car, the Strati, in September of 2014 and then the Olli, the world’s first co-created, self-driving, electric and cognitive shuttle with Watson. Now to be fair, Jay has entrepreneurship in his DNA; his grandfather owned the legendary Indian Motorcycle Co. He grew up loving cars and developed Local Motors by way of Princeton University, US Marine Corps and the Harvard Business School. The most profound impact on his career, a seven-year stint in the United States Marine Corps where he learned about leading in precarious situations with imperfect information. Local Motors - get ready to change the way you view transportation.
