LexiBelote
2020As an intern at Seed Effect, Uganda, Lexi identified new ways to support the company's operations, long term sustainability and protection of employees during Covid-19. “At the GSB, we learned anecdotally about how to lead an organization through crisis. This experience gave me the opportunity to partner directly with a CEO leading a business through one of the biggest crises of this century. In short, this experience provided a great capstone that allowed me to apply many practices, solidifying my learnings and helping me put them into motion to benefit a developing economy."
