After nearly 20 years in Corporate America, Dev seemed to have it all – he had some of the most prestigious companies in the world on his resume, and was leading a thriving consulting and software business working with some of the most financially successful firms on earth. But deep within, he was unhappy. His work felt like a grind. Relationships felt broken and disconnected. He questioned the point of it all.

He awakened to the fact that that the primary focus on profit creation in our businesses today has led to people being viewed largely as instruments to make money, as opposed to the extended human family that we all are. In that moment of extreme clarity, The OBO Movement – a complete transformation of how we conduct business as a society, changing the focus from money to employee fulfillment – was conceived.
