What are your three most substantial accomplishments, and why do you view them
as such?
I led three projects in which I had a particularly strong impact on my professional environment. First, in my last year as a student with [Name X], I established a 35-person company: [Company X]. While President of [Company X], I answered a call from a prospective Internet entrepreneur. Within 48 hours, I convinced him to get me on board as co-founder of his company. We had to build a website to convince our first investors, a challenge I took on with aplomb. I recruited a team of four engineers, who accepted to work for free until funds would be raised. My enthusiasm and drive helped motivate the team to work days and nights for seven weeks before we unveiled [Website X]. This early launch allowed us to raise $2.5M and our concept provoked enthusiastic press coverage. We were selling various consumer products online at discount prices. We hired an
experienced CEO, who focused on preparing a merger of the company. I got promoted to Director of Operations to supervise the execution of our strategy. I recruited and managed a cross-functional team of 17 professionals, who represented half the company's headcount. I launched new projects and structured the company. Nine months after the initial call at my office, we sold Kakabo to [Area X] for $5M worth of stocks.
