Gratitude, Giving and Growth with Zahir Khoja

When I was 21 and in university, I was volunteering at a community centre. There I met a 16-year old that demonstrated incredible leadership skills for someone his age. Zahir went off to university himself and over the course of the last 30 years, I have seen him a handful of times. Each time he was conquering a new professional challenge in a different part of the world. With a mix of gratitude, giving, growth and hard work he turned a summer job as a Pepsi taste patroller into his current role as a global EVP at Mastercard. Along the way, he worked for Sir Richard Branson, lived in Kabul, Singapore and Dubai, and held senior leadership roles in three different industries. I am sure you will hear the pride in my voice as the teacher becomes the student.
