How a refugee’s son from a small Indian town became Deloitte Global’s CEO [Quartz]
This is a great story. No joke. "In 1984, Renjen won a Rotary Foundation Scholarship that offered him a ticket to the US—and a place at Willamette University’s Atkinson Graduate School of Management. Till then, he had never travelled outside the country, or even flown on an airplane. 'I had this scholarship, two pairs of tight jeans and a couple of hundred extra dollars and I showed up in Oregon, and went to school there,' Renjen said. Renjen’s decision to attend the private liberal arts institution in Salem, Oregon was also partly influenced by family; he had an aunt who lived in the city, and that helped him transition into what would become a permanent move to the US."
