Ep. 80: Shaking things up in the non-profit world with Megha Desai, President of The Desai Foundation
“What we needed was somebody who was willing to fail, somebody who was willing to experiment, and somebody who wasn't afraid to build the plane and fly it at the same time.”
My latest guest Megha Desai brought her sense of adventure and decades of experience in the corporate world to her family’s foundation when she took the helm. She’s since propelled The Desai Foundation to new heights and heads the public foundation from New York where she’s based.
What does leadership in the non-profit world look like? What is The Desai Foundation doing to tackle period poverty? Hear from my inspiring guest who left her successful career in advertising to make a difference in people’s lives through dozens of high impact programs in India and the US.
