Susan D. Hellmann Gates Foundation CEO New York, 2015

Susan D. Hellmann
Gates Foundation CEO
New York, 2015

I attended the Gates Foundation Social in New York on January 24th, 2015. I was able to ask CEO Susan D. Hellmann questions about how to work with such a colossal nonprofit organization doing great things around hunger, poverty, health and education. A month later, the IRS approved my nonprofit to teach women tech skills. I’ve been volunteering a long time and it made sense for me to build my own legacy around my favorite thing: technology. Some examples of previous contributions are:
