ATWC EP. 44 Business Consulting in Different Cultures with Carter Crockett, Ph.D.

Show Notes: Carter Crockett calls in from Kigali, Rwanda, where he owns and manages a Karisimbi Business Partners, the first consulting firm in the country paid by business leaders to help with strategic decisions, often by providing business plans, market research, feasibility studies and more. He and Kristen discuss how one ends up doing social entrepreneurship in a small African country, and how business consulting works differently in different cultures. They also explore the business environment in Rwanda during the pandemic, and the exceptional role of women in Rwandan business.   Bio: (items you would like me to mention when I introduce you): a 50-year old man from California, married to Kerry (anniversary tomorrow!), proud father of two amazing people (including Marcet Crockett!); Idealistic entrepreneur who has lived on three continents, worked in 8+ sectors and worked for 20+ employers; A technology entrepreneur, turned ethics scholar, turned professor, who became a social entrepreneur; A man who recently moved back to Rwanda to lead the company he started 11 years ago.... Thanks in part to COVID-19, for the foreseeable future, I am unexpectedly holding the responsibilities associated with the favorite job of my career.
