“I am attracted by the passion and purpose of the Institute, and I think there is strong excitement from business leaders about what the Satell Institute is doing. What’s great is that it’s passion with defined purpose. You need to have passion to fuel you because you’re going to go through some tough times, and you’re going to need to have a defined purpose to steer you toward your goals. There is also clear direction how the Satell Institute is going to bring that passion to life in the community. That really resonated with me. My initial reactions are that both Ps (passion and purpose) are there, and I am really looking forward to Vertex getting involved with the Satell Institute.”
