Wall of Thanks

Thank you to all the many advisors, thought partners, family, colleagues and friends that have supported me and influenced my ideas through the years.

First and foremost, my family...

  • Anya and Naya
  • Veena and Nand
  • Asheesh, Payal, Anushri
  • Donna, Herb, Zosha, Kevin
  • My grandparents & great-grandparents

Lucy Bernholz
My own ideas on public goods and civil society are mere derivatives of Lucy's work. She led the Digital Civil Society Lab at Stanford, the impact of which will far exceed its own lifespan. She wrote the annual Blueprint, and regularly published ideas that have been invaluable resources to so many, year and after year. Our conversations have inspired me, and she's been so generous in connecting me to so many people in her network. Thank you, Lucy!

Anya Kandel
Anya is a strategist and thinker that has long been my secret weapon. So many of my successes are due to her questioning and coaching. She has provided me tools that, through their use, have changed how I see the world.

Eugene Kim
Positive social change faster than 20 years isn't about moving fast and breaking things. Eugene shows that the key is to improve how groups work together in complexity, and how to build the relevant skills through practice.

Louis Potok
A long time colleague, Louis has been a thought-partner and accountability buddy for many years. He inspires me by doing where others talk.

Gunner
Gunner challenges my notions about what is important and what is possible. I am privileged to collaborate and converse regularly with him, and to be associated with AspirationTech.

Rajan Kapur
Rajan's global perspectives provide prophetic foresight. There's always fascinating conversation, and I always walk home with new connections and resources.
