OUR LEADERSHIP
Ila Asplund, CEO
|
Dr. Michael Grosspietsch, G.E.I.GEI is the brainchild of Dr. Michael Grosspietsch who, 15 years ago, started to explore the question how to increase human development impacts of short-term programs in developing countries. What was initially an academic research exercise that earned Michael his PhD soon became a practical opportunity: Living in Rwanda, Michael founded GEI originally as a Rwandan educational travel provider in 2006. Within five years, the organization became East Africa’s leader for educational short-term programs, and then South Africa. GEI has now opened regional program office in Vietnam, focusing on women's leadership and health.
