Lee Goldstein is a Career Technologist with over 37 years of experience in using tech to connect people to the world. Splitting his career evenly between building, running, and selling telecommunications networks and services, he has distinguished himself in leading high-performing corporate organizations by imprinting a brand of team culture that is open, diverse, and caring towards humanity. From an early age, Lee has deeply connected with music, listening to, collecting, and learning about every possible music genre. Having traveled the world as High School Marching band member at Adlai Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, IL, Lee put the trumpet down for 40 years to focus on being an Engineer, a Businessperson, a lacrosse player, and a youth baseball coach. One year before joining the Eighth Blackbird’s board, and as part of a personal transformation, Lee began devoting himself to trumpet lessons and has recently joined Arlington Jazz Exchange.  Lee has been a member of the College of Lake County Concert Band for the past couple of years. Lee received his BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, with an emphasis in Communication Systems and his MBA in Corporate Finance from the University of Dallas.
