Joel Kocher: Chasing the Moment from Dell Computers to Humann

Joel Kocher couldn’t tell you why he’s been so successful at identifying the game-changing potential of companies. He just knows the moment when he sees it. But that doesn’t mean Kocher can’t connect some of the dots that brought him to his current role as the co-founder and CEO of Humann, a nutrition company focused on cardiovascular health.

In this episode of the Changing Austin podcast powered by Amplify Credit Union, Chief Experience Officer Stacy Armijo sits down with Kocher to discuss his unconventional business journey. From gambling his career on the vision of Michael Dell at Dell Computers to being in the right conference room at the right time to help turn Humann into one of the official brands of University of Texas Athletics, Kocher reflects on those make-or-break moments in life that have long defined his career as an entrepreneur and business leader.
