Kris Robinson’s Summary

I am currently working for Omidyar Network, a philanthropic investment firm in Redwood City where I am part of a dynamic group of people working to create opportunities for people to tap their potential, enabling them to improve their lives and make powerful, lasting contributions to their communities.
