Tom Walker, CEO and president of i2E, is wrapping up his 14-year tenure with the nonprofit company to take a similar job in Ohio.   

Even as Tom Walker, president of i2E Inc., recounts his proud accomplishments with the entrepreneur support firm over the past 14 years, he cautions that the state could do more.

Walker, 43, will leave i2E next month to take a similar position in Columbus, Ohio. The firm he helped found has grown from an entity that simply aimed to help startup companies with business plans to an organization that manages about $40 million in capital that is invested in those early stage Oklahoma companies.
