He didn’t read an entire book until the age of 18. That milestone, delayed not by intellect but by inaccessibility, shaped his dedication to transforming technology into a tool of empowerment. His 20-year career spans leading companies like SAP, Google, Adobe, and Instagram. Now at Amazon, he’s part of a global team ensuring the company’s products and services are accessible to people with disabilities. https://www.sfdba.org/blogs/breaking-barriers-accessibility-as-a-growth-strategy-for-small-business monthly 0.5 2025-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d6701bcb08d470001a21ce0/30651a19-564f-4da5-ad8a-6a42d66814e1/SBW+panelists.jpeg Blogs - How Accessibility can be integrated Meaningfully and Sustainably into Business Operations Speakers and Panelists from Left to Right: Andre LeMont Wilson, Small Business Program Manager at Ability Now; Michael Hingson, NY Times Bestselling Author, Podcaster and International Lecturer; Joshua Klipp, Attorney, Founder & Certified Access Specialist at Made Welcome; Peter DeHaas, Founder and Executive Director of the San Francisco Disability Business Alliance; Eli Gelardin, Director, Director of San Francisco Office on Disability and Accessibility; Kiran Kaja, Principal Product Manager at Amazon Worldwide Stores Accessibility. https://www.sfdba.org/blogs/digital-accessibility-initiative monthly 0.5 2025-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d6701bcb08d470001a21ce0/1740153432247-HO233NL5NO8WX4GQTRFD/accessibility+in+business.jpg Blogs - Digital Accessibility - A Win-Win for Humans and Businesses - A Win-Win situation ✔️ For Businesses -> Opportunity to expand their audience by over 25% (considering that 1 in 4 Americans has a disability) and engage a loyal customer base representing $13 trillion of annual disposable income. ✔ ️ For the Disability Community -> Equal access to online resources and tools that support their careers, self-employment, education and well-being. https://www.sfdba.org/blogs/newsletter-dec2024 monthly 0.5 2024-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d6701bcb08d470001a21ce0/d6943875-ed00-4028-85a0-aaaa3dabe8a2/banner1.png Blogs - 2024-2025 - from growth to scalability, from inspiration to influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d6701bcb08d470001a21ce0/ea9f3810-472d-4a35-bbac-f8569cedbcda/Banner2.png Blogs - 2024-2025 - from growth to scalability, from inspiration to influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d6701bcb08d470001a21ce0/de41f09b-4ebc-49f8-bbdc-288c95272b1a/SFDBA+Donate.jpg Blogs - 2024-2025 - from growth to scalability, from inspiration to influence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.sfdba.org/stories daily 0.75 2025-06-16 https://www.sfdba.org/stories/nori-michelle monthly 0.5 2025-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d6701bcb08d470001a21ce0/f9e7ecd5-8fd6-4a04-8f6e-ac4dcaeef305/Peter+and+Nori.jpg Stories - Nory Michelle - Nory attended our Spring 2024 Cohort despite her busy schedule. “Being an entrepreneur requires tenacity, creativity, and grit.
