Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Alec Ross emerged from a public-school upbringing in Charleston, West Virginia, and graduated from Northwestern University in 1994 before beginning his career not in publishing but in service, as a sixth-grade Teach For America teacher in Baltimore. That classroom experience, followed by work at Enterprise Community Partners and the co-founding of One Economy, gave him a practical education in inequality, access, and the uses of technology in everyday life. At One Economy, the venture grew from a three-person startup into a global nonprofit serving low-income communities on four continents, a formative period that established Ross’s habit of viewing innovation through both economic and civic lenses.
