When I joined the Peace Corps at 21, I didn’t realize I was signing up for one of the most powerful leadership development experiences imaginable.
For my project, I went to Antigua where I worked with the Ministry of Education to train teachers and government officials in computer literacy, build educational materials, and help schools integrate new technology. I had one desktop computer, a dial-up modem, and a lot of responsibility. I come from a family of educators, and that mission is very noble and personal to me. That two-year experience shaped the way I think about leadership and service to this day and continues to influence how I lead as chief people officer at Payoneer, a global company with more than 2,500 colleagues from all around the world.
