Eco-technology. Leveraging natural resources is really important to me.  I’ve outfitted my home with the latest in LED bulbs, have solar power at my house – and outfitted our Belkin Offices too. I’m excited to see where solar power and battery technology goes.
How’s Belkin inspired by Uber?
Belkin is all about empowering people to be able to do what they otherwise might not be able to do.  I believe Uber is the same.  We both use innovative approaches and apps as the tools to deliver on these values.
