But 5 years ago I began a career at Cinnaire, in an industry that has been cited as the most successful public/private partnership in history and my dogma has completely shifted. I didn’t know I would experience such fulfillment playing a small part in transforming communities. Working at Cinnaire, I am privileged to be part of a mission that is only fulfilled by helping others. I now believe public/private partnerships are the only means to spur investment in disadvantaged rural and urban communities.”
