• A detailed doer – You have a track record of getting
  things done. You’re organized and responsive.  You take ownership of every idea you
  touch and execute it to a fine level of detail, setting targets, engaging
  others, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done.  You can multi-task dozens of such
  projects at once and never lose sight of the details.  Likely, you have some experience in a
  start-up or other rapid-growth company.
• A networking mastermind – You excel at meeting new people
  and turning them into advocates. 
  You communicate in a clear, conscientious, and effective way in
  both written and oral speech.  You
  can influence strangers in the course of a single conversation.  Allies and colleagues will go to bat for
  your ideas.

  comes with massive and constant challenges.  On top of that, Bridge works in
  volatile, low-resource communities and runs on fees averaging just $6 a

  flexible and ready to get everything done effectively, quickly, and
  affordably with the materials at hand. 
  Every dollar you spend is a dollar our customers, who live on less
  than $2 a day, will have to pay for.
• A customer advocate – Our customers – these families
  living on less than $2 a day per person – never leave your mind.  You know them, get them, have shared a
  meal with them (or would be happy to in the future).  You would never shrink back from shaking
  a parent’s hand or picking up a crying child, no matter what the person
  was wearing or looked like.  Every
  decision you make considers their customer benefit, experience, and value.
• A life-long learner – You believe you can always do
  better.  You welcome constructive
  criticism and provide it freely to others. 
  You know you only get better tomorrow when others point out where
  you’ve missed things or failed today.
