The second portion of the word is system, is defined as a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network. Now, it’s no surprise that an ecologist coined that term considering their nature of work - an expert in the branch of biology (ecology) that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. The word ecosystem was first coined by Roy Clapham in 1930 but interestingly enough, in 1935, it was the ecologist Arthur Tansley who fully defined an ecosystem concept in an article: “The whole system,… including not only the organism-complex, but also the whole complex of physical factors forming what we call the environment”. In this post, I’ll do my best to breakdown what an ecosystem is, what consists of and how it supports and sustains growth and innovation in tech.įrom the beginning - what is an ecosystem? It sounds great and but it “packs a lot of punch” - more than we acknowledge. It has quickly become of the “go-to buzz word” at various tech communities, events such as conferences and etc. With the same token, I’ve realized that the word “ecosystem” is often used in the tech scene without much context. With this opportunity comes great responsibilities hence, I take a very methodological approach in understanding ecosystems and how Facebook Developer and Startup programs can fit, elevate, build and add value. As a program manager for the Developer & Startup Programs for North America and Caribbean regions, I get to leverage one of my strengths: building sustainable but agile strategies to address the technical needs of the region and beyond.

Understanding tech ecosystems is critical to my job at Facebook.
