Six years at Deloitte. Sydney to Boston to New York. Then Tony Senanayake walked away from it all, after a dark moment forced him to question what he was doing with his life.
Today, Tony is CEO of Fortify Health, reaching 15.5 million beneficiaries monthly across India. He's a Mulago Fellow and Jacobs Foundation Fellow, and he's also pursuing Master of Public Health at UCL while scaling the organisation.
In this conversation, Tony shares:
A dark moment that forced him to reflect on his own life
How he tested his interest in social impact before leaving consulting
Why he only applied to 3 business schools with laser focus on development economics
Building credibility in public health without a traditional NGO background
Why nonprofits should run like for-profit companies
Scaling from 20 to 100 people and 15.5 million beneficiaries
The importance of self-reflection and honesty in becoming who you want to be
Perspectives for those looking to transition into social impact careers
If you're in a corporate role wondering whether you could use those skills for social good, or if you're trying to become the person you actually want to be, this conversation will resonate deeply.
