Great event @Acumen. Thanks for having us!!

[Acumen @Acumen]

“We would love if there was more competition in the space. That would mean low-income people are being treated like real customers as they should.” @HughWhalan CEO of Acumen investee @PEGafrica on the impact off-grid solar can have in Africa. #Skollecosystem #Skoll @FightPoverty

[Jacqueline Novogratz @jnovogratz]

In the past, capitalism has been about asking, "what can you do for me?"

Now, we have an opportunity to shift back to the humanity of asking what we can do together.

Thanks to @SkollWorldForum for creating the space for these important conversations. #SkollWF

[Hugh Whalan @hughwhalan]

Looking forward to working with the CDC team!

[Nick O'Donohoe @nickodonohoe]
