More About Me

I'm passionate about

It may sound very cliche in this setting but I am passionate about the potential of sharing across boundaries and perceived borders, and moving ideas into action (focus on execution, not the idea).

An idea worth spreading

One I recently came across.

So historically I've always been caught up in the Tech world. I've always followed new products and developments in the industry and would have liked to ultimately get involved in a tech startup or established company, or start my own.

More recently though, I've started being pulled toward Social Enterprise. The meaning of what you can do and the potential difference there is to be made was introduced to me at the TATA Soc. Ent. Conference and has since captivated me.

So here I am with this dilemma of choice, and along comes this idea.

The idea is pretty much a marrying of the two areas. They work together to build on each other's strengths and cover each other's weaknesses.

The premise is, what if we could combine:
- the scalable tools and methodology of Technology Entrepreneurship, with
- the world-centric value system of Social Entrepreneurship

The idea of 'Transformational Entrepreneurship' then comes about: bit.ly/K9yf1B
