If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why? Please explain with a short story or example.

I am a builder. I was one of the founding members of Pledge 1% and I remember the excitement we all shared for building something new – it’s part of the reason why we called our community the “Builders” movement. That excitement never left.

 

To this day, my favorite part of my job and of my team is our insatiable appetite for building new programs, partnerships, coalitions–you name it!

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?

Social impact is non negotiable for companies in 2024. What inspires me about companies like Salesforce and Pledge 1% is the idea of building impact into your company’s DNA on Day 1.

 

In the beginning, you give what you can, and it might not feel like much. But over time, it can really multiply. That said, we know impact programs alone cannot solve all the challenges we face. They need to be in coordination and collaboration with all the levers a company has to pull, like purchasing, policy and products. This is how you really move the needle and make change at scale.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?

When you’re evaluating a role, pick the boss, the team, and the culture where you feel you can do your best work. So often people chase titles or brand names but don’t pay enough attention to their day to day experience. Put yourself in a position where you can thrive – that’s how you can advance while feeling fulfilled.

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?

I’m extremely excited about AI. As an AI company and a Philanthropy team, it’s our responsibility to listen to the communities, the students, the grantees we support across education and climate and help them navigate this next wave of AI.

 

Over the past year, we conducted a deep dive listening tour to understand where our purpose driven organizations are on their AI journey. We learned that most are optimistic – almost 90% want to use AI – but they are not prepared to handle the massive shift. Without support, they are at risk of getting left behind, furthering inequities across the most vulnerable populations. That’s where our work is focused this year, namely with our AI for Impact Accelerators for education and climate action, and I’m really excited to see what innovative solutions we come up with.

Hello, I would like to know more about the company. There is a legal entity. I am the founder and director of the company. I can take part in any projects in Kazakhstan, in Astana. In the future, perhaps in the USA or other countries. There is experience in participating in international events such as economic forums and conferences. I have an economic education - college, law degree. I would like to take part in organizing events at the international level. In Astana there are facilities in which international events can be held at a decent level. I have a laptop, an iPhone. I need funding. I use English with a dictionary. But it’s more convenient for me to communicate in Russian. I tried to register a legal entity but for some reason it did not work. Attached is a document confirming the existence of a legal entity and a working bank account. I urgently need work and funding, for this reason I ask you to consider possible options for mutually beneficial cooperation.

 

Здравствуйте, хочу подробнее узнать о компании. Имеется юридическое лицо. Я являюсь учредителем и руководителем компании. Могу принять участие в каких либо проектах в Казахстане, в Астане. В будущем возможно в США или в других странах. Имеется опыт участия международных мероприятиях таких как экономические форумы, конференции. У меня экономическое образование - колледж, юридическое высшее. Хотелось бы принять участие в организации мероприятий на международном уровне. В Астане существуют объекты в которых можно проводить международные мероприятия на достойном уровне. У меня есть ноутбук, айфон. Нуждаюсь в финансировании. Английским языком пользуюсь со словарем. Но мне удобней общаться на русском языке. Пытался зарегистрировать юридическое лицо но по какой-то причине не получилось. Во вложении документ подтерждающий наличие юридического лица и рабочего банковского счета. Срочно нуждаюсь в работе и финансировании, по этой причине прошу рассмотреть возможные варианты взаимовыгодного сотрудничества.
