Former Marine sniper Jake Wood learned a lot about the complex, inefficient nature of corporate giving as the founder of Team Rubicon.

He shares how his experiences -- from college sports to military service to representing Team Rubicon in board rooms -- prepared him to lead the creation of a tech platform to connect companies to non-profits.
