Mr. Krishna Shah is the Executive Director Pro Bono (Voluntary) of Global Compact Nepal. He assumed the ED role in October 2019 and not even six months into the job, the global Coronavirus Pandemic started. Still, the Local Network did not stay idle throughout the pandemic as COVID-19 Relief efforts took the front seat. 

He holds a Master's in Software Engineering from the University of St. Thomas, USA, and worked in the American IT Sector for over 15 years. He started as an entry-level Computer Programmer in 1997 but was a Project Manager and Sales Engineer by 2007. In 2014, he moved back to Nepal to help with the family businesses, mainly under the Lotus Holdings umbrella, taking the reigns of Formation Carpets, both companies that signed up to be part of the Global Compact in 2003. Mr. Krishna Shah is also the Executive Director Pro Bono at Hoste Hainse, a role that he wants to hand over to an incoming ED in the near future. 

Mr Krishna Shah is an advisor at GoodWeave Certification Nepal. He is also a Rotarian and currently the Treasurer at the Rotary Club of Patan West. His hobby is DJ'ing and has a weekly podcast called "Prakrity Sessions."
