Stephen Jon Thompson - Unbroken
Manage episode 305075902 series 2866302
Stephen Jon Thompson is a distinguished leader and Tech Executive whose job it is to find the most elite talent in artificial intelligence for the world’s most cutting-edge technology & consumer companies - Including; Nike, Amazon, LinkedIn, Apple & Google.
So, it might be reasonable to assume Stephen was born into a beautiful family, with a silver spoon in his mouth, had an IVY league education & that his stratospheric career trajectory was written in the stars.
But this is BRAVE JOURNEYS my friends & we all know by now that that’s not how this extraordinary man’s life began.
You see, at nine years of age, Stephen was abandoned with his four younger siblings in a Nevada motel by his drug-addicted mother. His childhood was filled with abuse, violence, a revolving door of men, neglect, foster homes, Juvenile Hall, & a poverty so extreme, its seriously remarkable he survived. And yet, he has done so much more than just that.
Today, apart from being a giant in the tech recruitment space, Stephen is a board member of Students Rising Above a not-for-profit organisation that is dedicated to the cultivation & development of extraordinary youth who are low-income, 1st generation college students who’ve demonstrated a deep commitment to education & strength of character in overcoming tremendous odds of poverty, homelessness & neglect.
This is Stephen’s story…
