The poor know how to overcome poverty. | Robert Hacker | TEDxBocaRaton
For almost 40,000 years governments have failed to solve the problem of poverty. Now is the time for individuals with Internet connectivity to become empowered entrepreneurs. Robert Hacker relates the lessons he learned about poverty at One Laptop per Child.
Robert Hacker is a consultant and author and teaches social entrepreneurship at FIU and MIT Sloan. Previously he built a billion dollar public company in one of the poorest countries, Indonesia.
Robert Hacker works at the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship and complexity as a consultant, advisor, professor and writer.
He worked in Asia for twenty years, including seven years in Indonesia where he built a billion dollar publicly traded company. Bob returned to the U.S. in 1999 and later worked with One Laptop per Child where he sold over a million educational laptops to foreign governments to freely distribute to children.
Today he manages GH Growth Advisors, a Miami consulting firm that offers “pragmatic growth strategies for middle market companies with complex problems”. He teaches entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship at Florida International University and MIT Sloan School of Management. Bob also acts as an advisor to early stage high tech companies and is actively involved in the Endeavor and Demeter advisory networks.
