"Entrepreneurs birth the new" said Carl, CEO & President of the Kauffman Foundation.
Carl's speech was inspiring. Everyone listened attentively.
In fact those are his signature words.
This was at the dinner hosted by the Foundation.
The dinner was held at the Kauffman Centre's large auditorium.
I had the rare privilage to be seated next to Carl during the dinner. Carl was extremely interested and attentive in what Malaysia is doing to promote entrepreneurship.
Spent some quiet moments with the leadership of Kauffman - seen with both the leaders.
At the end of the dinner, I presented Carl with the Malaysian batik painting with the GEW logo.
I was asked to say a few words and I said "This privilage to me, is an honour - to be the host of such a movement, to be invited at the Foundation - an institution I have always respected and was inspired by. I am proud to be here - not just for me, but for my team and for Malaysia"!
I then thanked the Global Founders for GEW and others hosts for all jumping into the bus to make this happen - all for one purpose : Entrepreneurship.
We are at the beginning of something owesome : the movement that will seed the new plants, as metioned by Robert Lital earlier.
It was a fabulous evening- the wine and the jet lag was not helping either;-)
