Carl Richardson led a session focused on career development and opportunities in the world of business and commerce with students from the Elliott School of International Affairs during a recent visit to The George Washington University in Washington DC.
The Elliott School is one of the world's foremost academic institutions focusing on international affairs.
It teaches nearly 3,000 students each year, as well as conducting research and contributing to the public debate on global issues, in order to help advance understanding and to foster solutions. Its ultimate mission is to educate the next generation of international leaders.
During the session Mr Richardson - who previously studied at The George Washington University - shared lessons and experiences from his career and answered questions from the students who ranged from first-years to those studying PhDs.
The visit also saw Mr Richardson participating in the Institute for International Economic Policy (IIEP) Executive Circle Spring Meeting and the prestigious bi-annual Wenger Lecture.
