Curt Laird
Kabul, Afghanistan
People ask me, "Where are you from?" and I have a hard time answering. I was born in Canada of American parents and then spent most of my first 18 years living in South America and SE Asia. A hundred countries and a British-Finnish wife later and I'm all confused. I guess I really am a citizen of the world. My training is electronics engineering, but international business is my passion, especially startups in conflict-affected areas. And I love coaching and mentoring young entrepreneurs.
