We've spent trillions of dollars, spent 60 years, thousands of NGO's, yet there are still 1.4 billion people in extreme poverty. We need new ideas, new methods, and new partners. Join us for a discussion on current poverty theories, what's working and what we should do next with an expert in the field straight from the frontlines of fighting extreme poverty, Jake Harriman, CEO of Nuru International. Jake will share his story of how he came to develop Nuru.
Bio: Jake earned his MBA at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in June 2008. He graduated with distinction earning a B.S. in Systems Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1998. Upon graduation, he served seven and a half years as an infantry and special operations platoon commander. During that time, he led Marines in chaotic, ever-changing environments on four operational deployments throughout the United States, the Pacific Rim, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Southwest Asia/Middle East, including two combat tours in Iraq. He was awarded the Bronze Star for actions in combat during his second tour in Iraq. Jake has international experience working throughout Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia/Middle East, Africa, Europe, North and South America, and Australia/ South Pacific.
