An excerpt in his own words: "I was 12 years old when I initiated and organized a local carnival which was attended by over 300 people. I was amazed that I mobilized friends, persuaded initially hesitant neighborhood folks including parents of my friends, managed vendors and publicized the event to make it successful. And, we turned up a decent profit. Little did I know then, that I would look back at this event with so much fondness and that this experience would serve as one of life-long inspiration for myself. Today, I look to similarly use and share these leadership and execution qualities as an instrument for advancement in business and life, on a larger global stage."
