"Do Good by Doing Right"

While that notion may be cliche, it is the driving force behind Kalepa Tech. We live on a planet threatened by global warming with floating landfills of waste scourging our oceans. Among us 2.7 billion people live on less than $2 per day, 1.1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water and millions die every year from preventable or curable diseases such as the malaria.

Simply put, we can do better. As a society, we have been given incredible opportunities to thrive. Kalepa Tech's goal is to ensure similar opportunities continue to be available to this and future generations.

Experiences with inner-city youth and environmental programs shaped early perceptions about environment, technology, education and opportunity. I didn't realize it then, but these experiences taught me environmental compassion, technological know-how and applied education empower me to have a positively impact on the planet and the future.

Throughout my career, I have been given ample leeway to explore passions for social impact and finding the intersection between strategy, technology, environmentalism and international development through volunteer activities, training opportunities and encouragement to pursue business opportunities. However, I realized these passions shouldn't be a footnote in my career. They should be my career. In 2008, Kalepa Tech was founded with the goal of using strategy, engineering, technology and research to develop quality solutions that have a positive social impact on ecology, society and humanity.
