How Krishna is building a better working world

“I am committed to fostering a community that is kinder, more people-centric and inclusive of different genders, diversities, and backgrounds. My family and I have been delighted and honored to support over 30 underprivileged children, improving their access to care and education so that they can reach their potential and live full lives. My commitment to philanthropy outside of work is foundational to my approach to client engagement and advice, and underscores my focus on building a better working world.”
