Jyothi Vidur

I am from India, have lived in Singapore, Indonesia, USA and Germany. Fortunate to have experienced living and working in different countries and different sectors, all of which have shaped my identity.

My passion earlier was to develop electronic chips and I did that for 11 years. After a satisfying corporate career, in search of more meaningful work, I moved to the social sector in 2017. The experience of making a small impact was very humbling. My passion now lies in enabling organisations to create scalable and sustainable impact which makes me travel to remote parts of the country.

I have an Executive MBA degree from University of St. Gallen and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from San José State University.

I thrive on diversity of all sorts, especially cultural and international. My deep curiosity for people and cultures are quenched through travelling, cooking (and a vegetarian foodie!) and reading. I love spending time in the mountains with beautiful views of the Himalayas and biodiverse Oak forests. I try going back to the mountains as much as possible!

Empathy, honesty, passion and perseverance are what I value most as a leader.
