founder & ceo of the social handshake
about
i have worked both in the charity sector and in the business world. in the business world i met so many people with good intentions, who want to make a difference. but life is busy and often people experienced barriers that limited their good intentions. that is where my mission started to make doing good easy. with the social handshake we make it possible to support charities straight from your salary, and with tax benefits. a green benefit for cool employers that results in happy employees and a better world. what can be easier than that?
what qualities do you think are essential for success?
a mission that makes you get out of bed in the morning, and perseverence to see it through. as a bonus, doing something you really enjoy with people that are fun to work with makes everything so much easier!
the social handshake
entrepreneurship is an attitude not confined by gender, race or any other form of physical attributes. anyone can be an entrepreneur. we at the social handshake want to show young people, they can dream beyond stereotypes, and follow their ambition wherever it may lead them.
