My mission remains the same: harness tech/media’s scale to connect users/citizens to their voice/agency/leadership in places they care about

I myself care deeply about the United States, India, emerging markets & intend to devote myself to building bridges in service of my mission

While a personal/civic calling takes me to Chicago, I’ll spend significant time in India/Asia, drawing on my past to further tech's promise.
