After spending seven years working in venture capital and investment banking in Boston and New York, I returned to school to pursue a joint Masters in International Development and Business at the Harvard Kennedy School and Business School respectively. Now, during my first summer, I am interning at Endeavor-Jordan, the New York City-based Organization's newest office. The organization, which seeks to build a culture of entrepreneurship in developing countries by supporting high-impact entrepreneurs, provides a great opportunity for me to put my studies and passions to work: international development, business, entrepreneurship, venture capital and the Arab World. I hope to better understand the process and challenges of creating knowledge-based industries, a professional business culture and a venture capital industry in Jordan. Check in regularly for updates on my new discoveries!
