About Nick Noronha R.

I believe social good can be done more efficiently, with better results. The bar is high. I believe business done right is a force for growth, opportunity, equality, and dignity. Again, the bar is high. At the beginning of my career, I worked in China for seven years at the forefront of AI/ML technology and platform strategy. Afterwards, I designed measurement practices and tools to accelerate gender equality and economic growth at one of the world’s largest nonprofits. Currently, I dedicate my working hours to driving the greatest improvement possible in CO2e emissions, water use, material waste, and business value.I care deeply about cultural and linguistic fluency, local knowledge, intersectional perspectives, and ethics. Global perspectives form the core of my being, with family and life experience across East Asia, East Africa, and South Asia. In my everyday life, I strive to cultivate compassion, equanimity, and a muscular sense of humor.
