Citizens & Scholars President Rajiv Vinnakota was a guest on the The Daily Bolster podcast, which features conversations with experts providing insight for startup leaders scaling their businesses. The podcast is hosted by Matt Blumberg, Founder and CEO of Bolster who also serves on the Citizens & Scholars Board of Trustees. Raj and Matt’s discussion focused on translating nonprofit board experience to for-profit boards.

“You can learn a lot from sitting in a boardroom, whether it’s a for- profit or non-profit room, in terms of thinking about what are the skills and how are those skills and experiences combined so that the sum is much greater than the individual people in that room,” said Raj.”Thinking about the human interactions, thinking about who you need to touch base with before meetings and the conversations you need to have and how do you get a contentious policy approved.”
