Leadership

“Leadership is a dance between vision and teamwork. You truly require both ingredients for the dance to be graceful. Otherwise, it’s like having two left feet. What I love most is laying out a vision that my amazing team can then iterate on together.”

Julieta Mendez, Director of Programs
Foundation Center
