Dr. Geetha Murali is the CEO of Room to Read, a leading non-profit organization with the mission to create a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality.

The organization has benefitted over 45 million children across 24 countries and deployed about $850 million into improving foundational learning for children.

Globally, about 754 million adults cannot read and write, two thirds of whom are women.

Room to Read is a nonprofit organization that implements and makes direct measurable change.

Murali says she is not afraid of hard work and a tendency toward being bold.

To date, Room To Read has distributed over 42 million books around the world.

"I no longer have the fear of: 'Let's just do incremental change and not take risks,'" she said.
