Google's Omid Kordestani Speaks Candidly: "Life is Messy!"

On May 10, 2009, six of the most accomplished Iranian Americans in the world gathered at Royce Hall to share the trials and tribulations of their lives with the next generation. The event was the first of what we expect will be many such events called, “Passing the Torch of Success to the Next Generation of Leaders,” a forum aimed at inspiring Iranian American youth with lessons learned from the community leaders of today.

For those who were unable to attend this unprecedented event, and in an effort to share the experience and value of the program with all, PAAIA and IFL are releasing a series of videos capturing the presentations of each of the speakers.

We begin by presenting to you a personal and compelling talk by Omid Kordestani, the former Senior Vice President for Worldwide Sales and Field Operations of Google. Please watch and enjoy.
