Meet the PACT Staff – Heidi Franklin
What brought you to PACT, and what’s your favorite part of working here?
I had been captivated by PACT events while working in a previous role and admired the organization’s ability to bring people together around innovation and entrepreneurship. My favorite part of working here is showcasing Philadelphia’s vibrant innovation community and helping to elevate the incredible talent and ideas in the region.
How does your role at PACT help make an impact on the Philly tech and healthcare scene?
In my role, I strive to be a connector and collaborator for the innovation ecosystem. Through curated programming and strategic networking opportunities, I help bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders to spark new ideas, partnerships, and growth across the tech and healthcare sectors.
Which PACT event do you look forward to the most, and why should members check it out?
The Enterprise Awards is my favorite event because it’s a true celebration of innovation and success in our region. It’s an evening of recognition, inspiration, and connection, where members can network with the who’s who of the innovation community in a fun and dynamic setting.
What’s a recent project or success at PACT that you’re really excited about?
The Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference is always a highlight! As a team, we work tirelessly to host a premier event for investors, entrepreneurs, and advisors. The energy and excitement throughout the conference are unmatched, and as soon as it ends, we’re already looking forward to planning the next one.
When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
I’m a beginner fencer, an avid jogger (definitely not a runner!), and an aspiring foodie who loves exploring new dishes and culinary experiences. These hobbies keep me active, curious, and constantly learning.
