Episode 14
Harry Plant has placed himself in the right place at the right time multiple times. From a run at legendary Silicon Valley law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati as the Internet was coming of age, to working as investment banker, he learned about business success from multiple vantage points. After taking some time to help raise his children, Harry joined Stanford Law School classmate and Aeris CEO Marc Jones as VP of Social Impact at Aeris Communications. Harry and Aeris do not view philanthropy as a separate check writing exercise, but an integrated part of the company. Their efforts are helping people in developing world gain access to clean drinking water, preserve vaccines, use tractors to improve farming efficiencies and more.
