Everything has been fine, except that we missed you and Mary. We went on another boat ride with Chuck and Nancy Parrish. Bob Solow joined us. Lots of fun. He had a great line on the Greek situation which I will forward to you separately. Also had dinner with Skip, his daughter and her fiancée. He thinks you're great. Today-dominos. We won't be calling you for the rules. Happy to meet with Terisita. I'm back in the office next week. OK to give her my contact info. How are you doing?

She used to work for me at CAP, then went to law school, then Government. She and her husband (he also worked at the White House with me on global development) just moved to the Bay Area and she is looking to do work on financial inclusion. She's very good and I think would benefit from your advice. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Thanks so much for the prompt reply, John! And the minute you tell us to show up, we will be in Truckee. No questions asked :) I would also love to connect with Herb Sandler. He would be a fascinating person to talk to. Let me know how I can facilitate that introduction. I went ahead and drafted a short email to Lisa, and I attached my resume. Let me know if you don’t have her email over at Apple and I can work on tracking it down. Thanks again for all your help! Best, Teresita --- Hi Lisa, I hope you are doing well and are enjoying your time in California. I wanted to introduce you to a friend and colleague of mine, Teresita Perez. Teresita was my speechwriter at the Center for American Progress where she excelled in writing complex policy speeches on climate, immigration, and poverty alleviation, among other issues. She recently moved to the Bay Area and she is interested in working for a company investing in progressive social initiatives, and she has a keen interest in mobile payments and financial inclusion. I immediately thought she would benefit from a conversation with you, particularly as you build out your new office. By way of background, after she left CAP, Teresita served as a speechwriter and policy adviser to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, then went to Georgetown Law and, she is currently working remotely as an attorney for the World Bank, where she is focused on reducing fraud and corruption on Bank-financed projects. I have cc’ed Teresita on this email and attached her resume. I hope you two can connect soon.

Pav and I are now back in California and I am reaching out to folks in the private sector. I had a great conversation with Sarah Wartell about my interest in financial inclusion and she put me in touch with a few very helpful contacts. I recently learned that Lisa Jackson has been named the new head of Policy and Social Initiatives at Apple. In my pursuit of finding something in the field of financial inclusion, I have been in touch with several people in the Apple Pay group; all have suggested that I get in touch with Lisa. If you think it is appropriate, I was hoping you might be able to introduce me to her. I'm happy to draft a short email if you agree. Thank you so much for your help - and please let me know when you're in the Bay Area. We'd love to see you! -Teresita <Teresita Perez. July 2015.pdf>
