In this episode, Jeff and Edgar discuss: 

Key Takeaways: 

"There are so many similarities between corporate and this type of ministry; we develop business plans, we have strategies, we have goals, we have metrics, and we can show the impact of their dollars. And so depending on how God has wired you, and depending on where you get your joy from your generosity, we're ready to meet you there." —  Edgar Sandoval, Sr.

About Edgar Sandoval, Sr.: Edgar was born in Los Angeles but grew up in Latin America. When he was 18, family hardship prompted him to return alone to the United States, speaking no English, with only his U.S. passport and $50 in his pocket.

After earning degrees in industrial engineering and sociology from Rutgers University and an MBA from the Wharton School, Edgar was recruited by Procter & Gamble. A highlight of his 20-year P&G career was directing the creation and launch of the internationally acclaimed #LikeAGirl campaign, which dramatically transformed the popular perception of the phrase.

In 2015, Edgar joined World Vision as chief operating officer in response to a clear calling he and his wife, Leiza, felt to the organization’s ministry. After stepping into the role of president and CEO in 2018, Edgar led the launch of Chosen®, World Vision’s invitation to child sponsorship that puts the power to choose in a child’s hands — flipping the script on a 70-year-old industry and garnering national recognition for innovation and impact.

Under his leadership, World Vision has seen five consecutive years of record-breaking operating revenue– contributing to the organization’s goal of equipping and empowering more people than ever to step out of poverty into fuller lives. In addition, the organization has received the highest possible financial accountability ratings from top watchdog organizations like Charity Navigator and the Better Business Bureau.

Edgar cherishes his faith in Jesus and his family above all. His wife, Leiza, is a former teacher who was born and raised in Puerto Rico. The Sandovals live near Seattle, Washington, and they have four children, including two daughters with special needs. Edgar’s understanding of the potential of every child, instilled in him through his experience raising his daughters, drives his dedication to World Vision’s mission of empowering the world’s most vulnerable children to take hold of their futures.
