A global network of learning communities, based on the value of business as nourishment for life. Global Gateways works with each client-partner to develop unique projects that facilitate learning while achieving the project objectives. Since each project is unique, we build the project consulting team from associates having demonstrated expertise in specific areas related to the client-partners objectives. Some of our "core team associates" are: John Moran is the founder and President of Global Gateways, Inc. Blending more than 25 years experience in industry as an executive, product developer and project manager and in academia as a course developer/instructor, John has achieved recognition as a bridge between the academic communities and industry. John's courses at the College of Notre Dame, UC Berkeley Extension and San Jose State Professional Development program reflect the real life business situations derived from his consulting work with Silicon Valley companies. Additionally, his academic experience contributes to his ability to create unique collaborative environments that facilitate learning, sustainable growth and increased productivity for his industry clients.In all his work, John advocates the importance of learning and systems thinking. Learning is the means to create knowledge. Knowledge is the capacity for effective action in today's world. Systems thinking is the capability to research and understand the relationships and connections between people, organizations and their environments. John believes these concepts are the foundation of personal and organizational growth in the next millennium. John's expertise has been developed through the organization and management of marketing and sales support functions for three high tech start up companies; as a team leader developing computer systems products and international markets; as a student and teacher in systems thinking; and as a principal consultant with Global Gateways. John is also the founder of the Software Industry Coalition, a non-profit corporation dedicated to improving the effectiveness of relationships, workforce, processes and products of the software industry. John's educational background includes a B.A. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and an M.B.A. from Golden Gate University. Lee Weimer brings over 16 years of experience working closely with business, education and community leaders throughout the world through chambers of commerce and trade associations. She has been a manager in a local US chamber, and has conducted organization development and grassroots management training through 10 years with the United States Chamber of Commerce and the Center for International Private Enterprise. She is an accomplished speaker, trainer and facilitator. Lee currently works with business and not-for-profits in her own consulting firm: The Weimer Collaborative. Most of Lee’s work centers on public-private partnerships, collaboration and applying the principles of democracy and free enterprise to not-for-profit institutions. That emphasis has created demand for her consulting expertise from Silicon Valley to Washington DC, as well as, multiple training and assessment projects in Hungary, Slovakia, Egypt, Cyprus, and Ethiopia. Lee’s working philosophy is based on "business as nourishment for life" and the belief that people involved in business enterprises - working together - constitute one of the greatest resources for the benefit of humankind that has ever existed.
