Eric Koester found himself with a front-row seat to the challenge of being an impactful mentor as a professor at Georgetown University.

Magazine has recognized PeopleGrove as one of the fastest growing private companies in North America and Adam has been recognized as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in Education.
