What is one example of a pro bono project you have personally worked on?
Our pro bono work is defined by social impact, not nonprofits. We work with a range of organizations and entrepreneurs to help them evolve and scale their programs. Most recently, we have been working with an entrepreneur in Kenya named Nigel Waller who has developed a new technology, MXShare that has the potential for tremendous social impact by broadening access to mobile services for people who can't afford a handset. It is an interesting initiative because it has real business potential (opening up the market further for mobile carriers in emerging markets) and social potential (as these customers can access their account and services from any handset, making it much easier to communicate with family and friends or employers). MXShare also provides new layers of privacy that may allow people to interact differently with health services and even address the significant gender imbalance in mobile access that is pervasive at the base of the pyramid.
