Director at Global Row Ltd, World Record Holder
After rowing across the Atlantic, my next challenge - the Global Row - is to circumnavigate the globe solo in a rowing boat. I need big corporate backers. Using OneLeap I got through to Nicholas Ashooh, VP Corporate Affairs at Alcoa, who offered valuable advice on fundraising as well as high level introductions to potential sponsors such as FedEx.

Andy Gibson, a social entrepreneur who contacted Lord Stevenson, said: "I was looking for influential business leaders to help me promote and scale my organisation, Mindapples, and was advised to contact Lord Dennis Stevenson.

I love hearing from smart social entrepreneurs like Aashika Damodar, who contacted me on OneLeap. I'm excited to see how I can help her venture, but I've no doubt that I'll benefit from the connection too. OneLeap is very much a two-way street from my point of view.
