Please note that this letter is in-process; the following are my notes
Dear Adam,
***
Advice from a Wall Street Client (Ken Marlin, CEO, Telesphere, ~1998 (#524)
* Then CEO of a Wall St. data provider and director at Outward Bound (an NGO)
* When I told him I was joining Save the Children, he said “I give you about a year.”
* Why?
* “You’ll be too frustrated with the pace of decision-making”
* He was right about the frustration, but wrong about the year
* I end up working 17 years at NGOs and still volunteer!
***
Sincerely yours,
Ed
