To determine if you are fit, please see if you can answer yes to the following questions:

  • Do you have a track record of creating and growing ideas that have resulted in systemic change?
  • Have you successfully mobilized financial and other resources?
  • Do you consistently demonstrate strong social/emotional intelligence and have the ability to lead, inspire, and integrate very entrepreneurial teams with respect and collegiality?
