Equity at the Edges | Salin Geevarghese, Obama Alum and CEO, SGG Insight
From the Oval Office to the family dinner table, Salin Geevarghese knows how to read a room.
Like a stand-up comedian (he loves to laugh!), Salin’s ability to get a group to shared goals comes from his ability to gauge the vibe in a room and tap into the magic that lies just below the surface.
In 2+ decades in the change sector, Salin has done this as a Presidential advisor, Senior Policy Fellow, State Department delegate, consultant, Foundation executive, and more.
He also finds it a handy skill in navigating his multi-generation household.
Listen in as Salin shares stories ranging from time with Barack Obama to the contagious lilt of his mother’s laughter. And while we eat ice cream provided by Taharka Brothers, a local employee-owned social enterprise scoop shop, we talk education, workforce, health equity, and affordable housing solutions.
