@Bpeace: Virtually mentoring Guatemalan furniture manufacturer in the development of a new sales and marketing strategy  
 
 
"After more than 40 years in global furniture industry management, working with some inspiring business people and being part of some amazing teams, I've learned a lot and probably made nearly every mistake possible. The past 13 years as a consultant have permitted me to use my experience (particularly what I learned from my mistakes, the costs of which were paid by others), global contacts and a few unique gifts to help businesses chart paths and progress towards success. At this point in my career, I treasure opportunities to give something back and, hopefully, help in some small way to mentor my industry's future leaders while also contributing on a societal level."

Research Assistant/Business Analyst


@Bpeace: Member at large
   
 
"I joined Bpeace because I believe in the mission that one way to peace is with sustainability. I believe that peacekeeping efforts in a conflict society must be maintained by business sustainability to help people recover economically, and socially. I want to learn the challenges of helping a business that has limited resources in a post-conflict zone, and help those facing the challenges with solutions or brainstorming. I believe that Bpeace is a rewarding experience and a way to make a lasting difference in conflict zones."
