I'm excited to have with me today, a member of LeadBoston class of 2015. LeadBoston is an executive education program, that focuses on the inner workings of Boston and socially responsible leadership. I'm proud to be a member of this year's class as well. My guest is also a member of the ONEin3 Council (relaunched as Spark Boston), a project of the Mayor of Boston, that aims to maximize the talents of Boston's 20-34 year old demographic, which is one third of the city's total population.
He is a consultant focused on creating opportunities for women and people of color within the world of real estate development. He works with developers to craft and monitor their diversity and resident employment objectives. He designed and manages a multi-year commercial real estate internship partnership between a real estate developer and the University of Massachusetts. He works at KAGE, a multifaceted consulting firm with expertise in diversity solutions. Prior to joining KAGE, he cofounded SportYourself, a new media company focused on creating a dynamic video platform.
