While John Wood was a top executive at Microsoft, he made a life-changing decision to found Room to Read, a non-profit organization which now provides educational access to 1.3 million children in developing nations through its 400 schools and 5,000 Reading Rooms. What John brought to this organization was a vision for scalable solutions to world problems, an intense focus on results, and an ability to attract a high-level group of employees, volunteers and investors.
