International aid organizations encounter huge problems in delivering information in the developing world, particularly in remote and rural areas. In 2001, NetHope was founded as an information technology consortium to help NGOs share resources, skills, and knowledge on internet connectivity.
In this conversation, Eric Nee, co-host of Social Innovation Conversations and senior editor of the Stanford Social Innovation Review, interviews NetHope CEO Bill Brindley. Brindley, a former Wall Streeter, talks about NetHope's origins, structure, challenges, and goals in helping organizations establish basic technological needs all over the world.
William A. Brindley serves as NetHope’s CEO and executive director. His career spans more than 30 years with international and domestic executive management positions in start-up, turnaround, and established business and nonprofit organizations. Having held such positions as CEO, COO, and CIO with financial services, entertainment, and high technology corporations, as well as grass-roots educational associations and not-for-profit organizations, Brindley brings to the table a wide array of knowledge of best practices in management and structural organization.
A significant portion of Brindley’s career was as a senior executive with Citigroup where he led various parts of The Citibank Private Bank. Before joining Citibank, he served for four years as a chief deputy to Citigroup’s corporate technology officer, overseeing information and communications technology in more than 100 countries. He holds several graduate degrees, including a doctorate in organizational change, as well as various other certifications.
