Bio
Ashley joined Founders Pledge in the summer of 2018, in a fortuitous confluence of her interests in philanthropy and startups. In a past life, she was an early employee at a tech startup,managing the community and communications. Before that, she worked in Tanzania with a sustainable development non-profit and launched a small food business with a group of women in her village.
Ashley earned a BA from St. John’s College, where she studied epistemology and the art of asking questions.
For the love of rivalry, she is now a Tottenham fan - sorry Meera & Sach!
Q&A with Ash
Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?
Leonardo da Vinci, because I want to get inside his brain. I would eat and listen, and have him teach me about all the things. There's no time limit on this dinner, is there?
Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An explorer, or a discoverer. Someone like Marie Curie, or a reporter for National Geographic.
Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?
A mockumentary. I'd be played by a Roomba with googly eyes, or Frances McDormand a la Fargo.
