What I do
For over 25 years, I have studied entrepreneurship as a means of economic development. I currently teach courses related to creativity in emerging economies.
What I care about
My most recent passions are two collections of essays I co-edited, one a set of transcripts of original video interviews of iconic entrepreneurial leaders across emerging markets, Leadership to Last, the other most recently, Making Meritocracy, an inter-disciplinary exploration of the roots of meritocracy in China and India, with lessons for entrepreneurship and for much studied societal attributes like dynamism and inequality.
How I connect to the D^3 Mission
I helped found the non-profit Aspire Institute, whose mission is to "transform the lives of young adults worldwide who are currently underserved through a fully funded leadership development program that catalyzes our leaders of tomorrow to make a positive impact in their communities."
