In his interview, the President emphasized five principles for building an effective corporate culture.

The President emphasized the importance of open communication and support in personal matters: regular conversations with employees, and discussion of their ideas and problems help to create an atmosphere of trust.

He founded a charitable organization that helps other foundations create digital solutions such as websites, mobile apps, and marketing materials.
