About Me

Adam
Former AIESECer, interested in Sustainable Development/CSR, being happy, making others happy and being a good dad. Want to see stuff, learn new things, meet new people, be inspired and make a difference. A long time ago, I established AIESEC China's 'Leadership for Sustainability' program, then led Plan International's work in China developing corporate partnerships. After 2008, in Beijing at BSR, I was working directly with companies in China to improve their sustainability strategies and practices. Then in 2014 I moved to Shenzhen to work at Huawei, a global tech company, setting up a new global CSR project and then in 2016 I moved to Kenya, with Huawei still, working with government and other stakeholders to help Kenya use Tech to transform its economy. After a long time in China, Kenya is a new and exciting challenge. So I'm still exploring, learning and experiencing life!
