"This program provides truly a 360-degree view of being an entrepreneur. My role as an ambassador is to help build the community, leverage resources and move forward with a global mindset. I don’t like silos; I’d much prefer exposure, so having global interconnectivity is crucial in learning where we can all complement each other."
