I see myself first as a student. I have had the privilege of learning under the stewardship of exceptionally experienced and highly distinguished teachers in Asia, Europe and North America. I have also had the rare opportunity to apply what I had learned in academia to my prior career pursuits in public and private sector settings across multiple cultures. While I feel grateful for what my academic and career journeys to date have enabled me to savor about the rich texture and flavors of a life imbued in learning and applications, I feel privileged to share my learning and life’s favors with others. And where else is it better to share my learning and good fortunes than with the young minds and souls that populate the great schools in our midst?
