Bio
Joseph Quaderer was born and raised in Floral Park, Long Island. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Finance in 2004. Shortly after graduation he began working for Morgan Stanley in a sales / strategy capacity. In 2007 he started MBA school at New York University where he is majoring in Social Innovation and Impact. On September 14th 2009 he put his job and education on hold and elected to take a sabbatical to Kampala, Uganda to teach Ugandan high school students the necessary skills to start and scale social enterprises - financially sustainable organizations that also address important social problems.
My Sabbatical
Who: Joseph Quaderer What: 6 month sabbatical to teach Ugandan high school students the necessary skills to start and scale social enterprises - financially sustainable organizations that also address important social problems. Where: Kampala, Uganda What I Hope to Learn: While I'm going to Uganda to teach high school students the basic tenets of entrepreneurship...I know I'll be doing a lot more learning than teaching. I am looking forward to experiencing a culture completely different than my own and also gaining perspective on life. Why: While corporate America was very rewarding and challenging but I knew that I wanted to dedicate a portion of my life to using my skill set in a more altruistic manner. Capitalism is a very important catalyst in the engine for social change and I knew my finance background could make a palpable difference in people's lives. “One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” - Andre
