    Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Opportunity Collaboration. Founder/Chair, MicroCredit Enterprises. Recipient, Social Venture Network Innovation Award. His I on Poverty blog appears at the Skoll Foundation's Social Edge.

    Mission

    "In 2008, I attended my son Aaron’s graduation from Columbia University. The Commencement Day Invocation by Chaplain Jewelnew Davis moved me (excerpted for brevity):

    Your education must be cherished as a sacred trust. You will have the opportunity to influence some of the most critical, international, environmental, business, legal, journalistic, scientific, engineering, medical, dental, public health and public policy issues of this century.

    Family and friends, strangers and neighbors, communities and nations will count on your leadership, your compassion and your humility to speak up for the sick, the thirsty and hungry, to speak up for the poor, to speak up for those who have lost their dreams and seek new hope.

    Be a maker of peace, a steward of mercy, a voice of reason and be the hands and feet of justice.”
