The Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) is a global peer-to-peer business community of 10,500+ leading entrepreneurs in more than 145 chapters and 46 countries.  These successful entrepreneurs are transforming the world, fueling the global recovery through innovation, job creation and economic development. And they do so by being bold, trusting and respecting their peers and having fun- some of the core values deep in our code of conduct. EO educates, transforms, inspires and offers invaluable resources to these entrepreneurs geared towards personal and professional growth. 

We're looking for someone to lead the development and growth of the South Asia region (SA) one of EO's most innovative and fast-growing markets. Currently the region has 15 chapters with more planned for the new fiscal year.  South Asia has several initiatives to expand awareness, increase their community and engage with fellow members, partners and supporters via EO's products and services.  The Director will have experience with member-driven organizations and managing staff in remote locations to execute current programs, create new initiatives, stabilize operations, build internal communication channels and motivate the regional staff to perform to their best abilities.  We're looking for someone who embodies EO's core principles of teamwork, creativity, service, professionalism, trust and respect and having fun!
