Why did Elinor move from not-for-profit into technology?

"Because of the unparalleled opportunity it presents to make a positive impact on society at scale. I see technology as a powerful tool to level the playing field for minorities, create sustainable solutions for climate change, and revolutionize education through edtech. The potential to drive meaningful change and address pressing global challenges drew me to the world of technology, where innovation and creativity have the power to shape a brighter future for all."
