Jess Monago
Vice President of Operations
Jess Monago received his first taste in international development by spending a month on the ground in Dharavi, India conducting field research for Facebook on global connectivity. This project worked to co-create a business model by combining a top-down approach crafted state-side, with a bottoms-up approach performed in-field to quantify the social and financial impact of an affordable, high speed internet technology on the population it intended to serve. On this project he was able to see firsthand the impact that universal access can have as a democratizing platform for populations that need it the most. His diverse background ranging from finance, sales, coaching, operations and project management allows him to oversee projects from many different angles while creating mutual value for all stakeholders involved.
