Spotlight Board Member - Tim Leehane
San Francisco chapter Tim currently works at Amazon in Sunnyvale, CA as the Principal Product Manager and was formerly the Vice President of Product Management and Business Intelligence at Eargo, Inc. We are thrilled to have Tim serve on the SF Chapter of the EAB. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the MBA program at University of Portland, and was delighted when Dr. Anderson approached me about joining the Dean’s Advisory Board in the Bay Area. As a member of the board, I’ve been able to help shape the future of the school, network with other UP alumni, and help current and former students connect with businesses in the Bay Area. It is wonderful to be able to give back to the school that gave me so much.

Spotlight Board Member - Outhorn (Uton) Keophila Seattle chapter
Business Development Leader. Strategy, Partnerships + Growth.
Outhorn Uton is a business development expert having over 12 years of experience leading innovative startups to tech giants with their product design and development projects. He has worked with various businesses such as Aerotek Engineering, CompuCom, Carbon Design Group and Tactile, serving as the Business Development Director.
Outhorn is a Pamplin alum and was an E-Scholar during his time at UP. What inspired Outhorn to join the Seattle EAB?
Living in Seattle for over 12 years, I feel compelled to elevate University of Portland's brand presence in the Greater Seattle Area because there is a talented and influential alumni community in Seattle that is underrepresented. It will take the UP community to share our common bond and show this thriving tech city what we have contributed. We should be proud.
