  • Work with Ashoka's CEO and Southeast Asia regional leader, and other senior stakeholders to build the region as an integrated, fluid team of teams by weaving together Ashoka Fellows, carefully selected movement partners - teacher's organizations and ed schools, publishers/media, government agencies, youth and parent organizations
