Our Leadership Team

	Abbas Hasan, President and Founder Abbas deeply believes in the power of ‘seeing is believing’. With a Stanford MBA and a BS from UC Berkeley, he left years of management experience in Fortune 500 companies to follow his dream to change the world by inspiring its next generation of leaders. Abbas credits his passion for global education to his contrasting experiences in the US and abroad. To date he has lived and traveled to more than 40 countries around the world, a feat not commonly shared with his childhood peers in Ohio and Kansas. Abbas splits his time between driving the strategic mission and vision of Global Glimpse and working directly with youth in the US and Nicaragua. abbas.hasan@globalglimpse.org
