Life & Career Milestones

My path in life took a while to figure out

  • 1.

    First, I worked in for-profit consulting and discovered the way to solve tough problems.

  • 2.

    Then, I found out I wanted to use that to achieve social change.

  • 3.

    Then, I followed great people to try new experiences combining problem solving and passion.

  • 4.

    And then, I started thinking of the root causes that underlie challenges.

  • 5.

    And then, targeted exactly those organizations that focus on solutions to those challenges.
