Dawn Newsome ’90, P’20, P’24
Dawn Newsome is Co-Founder, President & CTO of Wisdom.io, an AgeTech startup pioneering an AI-powered smart home designed for older adults – enabling them to live independently in the homes they love while staying safely connected to those who care for them. A Bucknell University alumna with degrees in Chemistry and Computer Science, Dawn brings more than 30 years of financial services technology leadership spanning JP Morgan, NatWest, Nomura, TP ICAP, and Envestnet, where she held roles ranging from CTO to Americas President & CEO. Dawn is thoroughly enjoying her accidental transition from Wall Street executive to tech entrepreneur — proof that the skills and experiences built over a long career can become the foundation for something entirely unexpected. She is passionate about inspiring the next generation of engineers to build purposefully, lead courageously, and never underestimate where their careers might take them.
