Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship
Presidential Ambassadors for Global Entrepreneurship was a collaborative advisory group created by former United States President Barack Obama tasked with creating entrepreneurial growth in America.
PAGE was founded by then United States President Barack Obama in 2014. The prime focus of the group was to increase the business startup culture in the United States.
In 2016, Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes stepped down as one of the ambassadors of the program due to a federal investigation into some of her activities. Holmes had joined PAGE in 2015.

In 2018, Inaugural PAGE member and Chairman and CEO of Pinnacle Group, Nina Vaca had a day named after her in Houston, Texas due to her efforts in improving the Hispanic and immigrant community in Texas.
