I have had the great pleasure of closely tracking Tyler's work here in Ecuador, and learned from him as a guest speaker on several occasions at the Conference Series I organize at the Universidad San Francisco in Quito, where he has presented the innovative, socially responsible model that has become emblematic both locally and internationally. Tyler´s presentations have consistently challenged our students to reconsider traditional paradigms of doing business, and find ways to think more critically about how to create positive impact in the world across traditional boundaries. Runa is a refreshing, ground breaking alternative for this country to consider, adapt, and apply in other value chains as well.
