About Lawrence Luksha

When I was 21, I pilgrimaged in Europe. I walked the Camino de Santiago across Northern Spain.Pilgrimage starts with a longing to leave - the answering of a calling to partake on a foreign journey. Then, you jump. And despite the labyrinth of up-and-down passages, long days and blistered feet, the arrival (triumph) is worth the pain. Pilgrimage is an art, and like life, the art is to learn to make the best of struggles with as much equanimity as we can muster, in preparation for facing its sequel tomorrow.Now, I put that perspective to work in business development and government relations for Catalis. I don’t have to physically walk any pilgrimage routes…but I do maintain the path of discipline.I’m well versed in leadership strategies and tactics, research, writing, development, and all things government.If you’re interested in connecting over coffee (or hearing about my Pilgrimage to the end of the world), please send an email/message my way.
