"My mother forged her path to the U.S. after coming of age in the midst of a war, navigating uncertainty and hardship with unwavering determination. Education became her lever for change, first in Europe, then in America, where she rebuilt a life grounded in opportunity. Her story instilled in me the belief that impact stems not just from intelligence, but from the grit to pursue meaningful progress. That’s why Apax’s value of 'impact through insight and tenacity' resonates so strongly."
