Join us for an intimate, conversational session with David Howenstein — Ohio University alumnus (MBA & MAIA) and founder of Jambo International — as he walks us through his journey of introspection, cultural encounter, and global purpose.

Why Attend?

• Trace how David’s early decisions — from choosing Ohio University to balancing business with international affairs — shaped his trajectory.

• Explore the tension between traditional “office-life” and pursuing a life of meaning across borders.

• Deep-dive into how David founded Jambo International, integrating cultural values into environmental and social work in Japan, Africa, and beyond.

• Learn first-hand about the challenges and lessons of running a mission-driven organization in Tokyo — navigating cross-cultural leadership, trust-building, and impact in a different social & governmental context.

Whether you’re leaning toward global work, nonprofit leadership, or just curious about how someone can live a life shaped by purpose and place — this is your chance to peer inside that path.
