Asif Saleh transitioned from his role as an executive director at Goldman Sachs to a senior director at the world’s largest non-profit organizations, known as BRAC, based in Bangladesh. Recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, Asif connects private and social sectors to develop and scale innovations that uplift the poorest people.

With low-middle income countries like Bangladesh developing rapidly, both high and low-tech solutions will be instrumental in bridging a growing socioeconomic divide. Asif provides insight on how BRAC, which reaches 130 million people, is changing the way poverty is addressed worldwide.
