79. Everything Is Possible with Sanda Ojiambo
After 4 intolerable years of you-know-who in the US, this week there seems to be a brief moment of calm. But while many of us are catching our breath, the world is transforming how it will conduct business as usual by pressing the proverbial \u2018reset\u2019 button on what appears to be \u201ceverything we do and how we do it.\u201d - to quote Lindsay Levin.
And this is the perfect moment to reset everything, right? We\u2019ve seen economic inequality grow exponentially, we\u2019ve seen the gender gap resist closing, and we\u2019ve watched the climate crisis reveal itself not just on television, but in our own backyards. And, not to mention, COVID.
But in 2020, there\u2019s one person who believes everything is possible.
Sanda\xa0Ojiambo is Executive Director and CEO of the United Nations Global Compact, the first African citizen to be appointed to the post, and second woman! We meet her on this episode in week 5 of her life in New York City after relocating from Nairobi for the job. Sanda brings her brilliant mind and stubborn optimism to leading the business world on accomplishing the SDGs in this historic and unprecedented time.
