A3 has been using and experimenting with a remarkable app for the last three years. It's a mobile, micro-learning platform called Gnowbe.
And, So-Young Kang, the app's founder has been a friend since I met her while she was leading another startup called the Awaken Group.
Today, I’m proud to announce that So-Young has joined the A3 Council of Reference.
So-Young Kang brings a lot of experience to our movement, particularly when it comes to startups, new forms of leader development and the world of tech learning.
In addition to being an author, WEF Young Global Leader, TEDx Speaker, mobile tech entrepreneur, and education expert, she is a self-described "transformation designer".
And here is what So-Young recently had to say about A3:
"Asia is rapidly increasing in her global leadership and influence and she needs authentic, Christ followers to lead. The work that A3 is doing to develop leaders in a holistic way is critical to transform the next generation."
