In this episode, Lynn Tonini interviews Matt Bell, CEO of Pivotal, located in San Jose, CA. We talked about the journey that brought Matt to the CEO role last year at Pivotal. We then discussed the roots of Pivotal's mission, which was giving youth educational scholarships. The mission has grown since 1989 to include one-on-one educational coaching to support college and trades pursuits that starts as early as 8th grade and a summer internship when youth gain exposure and experience in the workforce. We also reviewed how the coaches are prepared to work with the youth and how they are matched. Finally, we brainstormed ideas for improving the foster care system.
