I am an entrepreneur trying to use this one precious life to make the world a better place. I work on financing for post secondary education in Asia to break the financial barriers that hundreds of millions of young people face to get the skills they need to improve their lives and build their nations. I previously started Wedu (www.weduglobal.org) to build a world where half of all leaders are women. I am an Acumen Global Fellow, former management consultant, excited dad, classical music and opera lover, beginner at snowboarding and squash, as well as very bad at drawing.

The human brain is the most powerful tool we have to solve the shared problems of humanity. There are 8 billion humans. We need to make sure we can use our collective intelligence to address our shared challenges.
