You can meet some of our team members below. We hope that their stories give you a feel for what Ashoka is all about.

"At Ashoka imagining ambitious ideas is expected from you – as a professional, Ashoka does the same things for me as it does for our Fellows – gives me a public identity, a sense of validation, larger networks and a much better positioning. Within Ashoka we all compete a lot, but it competition on the foundation of trust because each of us is committed to a bigger whole."

Valeria Budinich, Leadership Group Member
Full Economic Citizenship

"Many people don’t feel fully alive unless they are contributing to society in a meaningful way. But usually they have to make a choice between having a challenging professional career and making social contribution. Ashoka offers the best of both because we are not just participating in the citizen sector, we are actually shaping and creating it!"

Chris Cusano, Change Leader
Ashoka Support Network

"Ashoka is a place for transformation. The diversity of people, ideas and cultures allows for global thinking to emerge from local actions and global actions to stem from local thinking. I usually say that it is possible to recognize an Ashoka Fellow during the first minutes of conversation, which is something that the Ashoka team also resonates: people who pursue society’s evolution with new proposals and are capable of causing effective changes."

Maria Clara Pinhero, Senior Change Manager
Global Venture and Fellowship
