I believe passionately in the ability of business solutions to address the challenge of global poverty. At TechnoServe, I see the real and measurable impact that can be delivered by effectively harnessing the investment of our corporate partners. The potential to further scale this in ways that create value for disadvantaged populations, as well as the corporations and their stakeholders, is vast.”
