My name is Nettra Pan. I live in Paris and study international management, emerging economies and East Asia. I'm interested in how to leverage private investments for the public good.

Connecting people and ideas is what gives me energy. I love fostering entrepreneurship and innovation with my fellow Sandboxers, spending time with the inspiring women from So What's On Your Plate?, and learning more about how technology and the arts can connect and empower people.

Growing up in Phnom Penh, I learned how to speak English, French and Khmer (Cambodian). I have also lived in California, Balikpapan, Lyon, Bangkok and New York City. In New York, I studied Political Science, indulged in my passion for in Model United Nations, engaged others in Southeast Asian Development and Service, and helped The Hertog Global Strategy Initiative use new media to address critical issues in international politics.
