SANDBOX DINNER IN LONDON
July 21st, 2008 by Sandbox
We were in London last week, mainly for meeting with potential partners. On Monday evening however Severin invited us for a Sandbox dinner, an informal meeting we organize with selected talents wherever we go. We use the excuse of good food for meeting new talents, exchanging ideas and telling them more about Sandbox.
And so the main topic on the evening was also about … food. Louisa Baxter, a medical doctor and LSE master graduate, Sirikanya Narongtanupon, a young M&A specialist from Thailand and LSE graduate and Fabian from the Sandbox team talked passionately about the best food they ever had. Andrew Fogg (Cambridge graduate and Founder of Kusiri) and David Stone (co-founder of pistach.io) talked with Felix Gruendorfer (founder of a mobile gaming platform and VC consultant) about the future of advertising on the web. Most of the guests were graduates from top universities around the globe and had at some point thought about working for a consultancy. It turned out that the perfect employer would offer the lifestyle (traveling, mobility, diversity), the professional attitude and payrole of a McKinsey etc co. but would focus on doing good with this knowledge, like by working on NGO projects etc. This kind of job would be very appealing to most of them.
Many thanks for this inspiring evening: We cant wait to see some of the discussed ideas being turned into reality and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
