quality education at less than $6 per child per month.

YOU’RE ALSO
A
detailed doer – You have a track record of getting things done. You’re
organized and responsive. You take ownership of every idea you touch and
execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets, engaging others,
and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. You can multi-task
dozens of such projects at once and never lose sight of the details.
Likely, you have some experience in a start-up or other rapid-growth
company.
A networking mastermind – You excel at meeting new

effectively, quickly, and affordably with the materials at hand. Every
dollar you spend is a dollar our customers, who live on less than $2 a
day, will have to pay for.
A customer advocate – Our customers –
these families living on less than $2 a day per person – never leave
your mind. You know them, get them, have shared a meal with them (or
would be happy to in the future). You would never shrink back from
shaking a parent’s hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the
person was wearing or looked like. Every decision you make considers
their customer benefit, experience, and value.
A life-long
learner – You believe you can always do better. You welcome constructive
criticism and provide it freely to others. You know you only get better
tomorrow when others point out where you’ve missed things or failed
today.
