Naomi Cosman shares her professional philosophies and their relation to serving as a board member for Dance Entropy:
I moved to New York right after graduating from college (go Badgers!) and soon after started working in a large corporate company. A few years later I realized my affinity for startups - the thrills, challenges, and all the trials and tribulations that come with growing a business. And so I set off on a quest to build - and help build - companies. I am currently the Founder and Co-Founder of several early-stage companies and am thoroughly enjoying each moment of the growth process.
Because of this newfound passion, I was immediately drawn to Valerie’s drive and inherent desire to motivate others to express themselves through movement. So, naturally I was honored to be asked to join the Dance Entropy Board of Directors and to contribute to Valerie’s laudable mission, focusing on the marketing and branding side of the business.

It is a wonderful feeling being part of an organization that brings motion, creativity, and a sense of empowerment to underserved communities. This feeling reminds me of my favorite quote by the philosopher Aristotle: “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work”. Being able to fulfill such a powerful mission, it is no wonder the VG|DE team enjoys what they do and that they are able to put on breathtaking performances week after week in cities and countries around the world.
I’m a big believer that people come into your life for a reason. Being a part of VG|DE has given me the opportunity to be an advocate for positive change and I’m looking forward to helping the company continue to succeed in its mission in the months to come.
Naomi joined the Dance Entropy Board in Spring 2018.

She graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In her free time, Naomi likes to draw and she’s teaching herself to play the guitar.
