Impact investor, entrepreneur, policy maker, and executive leader are just a few of the words used to describe Javier Saade as a professional. In our interactions, I have also found him to be a thoughtful listener which is undoubtedly one of the reasons he has been successful in his social impact work. As a diversity and inclusion-minded partner to many different ventures our conversation will focus on how he sees the entrepreneurship and innovation landscapes evolving in the US and abroad. We will tap into the Junctional Thinking skills that he holds most dear, and get some insight for how to make the best use of time with people who are not from your sector and build relationships as a result.
