What if faith weren’t something to compartmentalize, but actually your greatest leadership asset?

KingdomHaus and Gloo were honored to host Silicon Valley founders, investors, and tech leaders in a conversation on what it looks like to lead from the place where your deepest passions, distinct gifts, and impact intersect.

We heard wild stories from leaders, in this Gloo Conversation, who have walked through the fire — to bring their faith to life through their businesses.

Extraordinary leaders. Unapologetically whole.

• Nancy Ortberg - Former CEO of Transforming the Bay with Christ;

• William Norvell - Co-Founder & Host of Faith Driven Entrepreneur Podcast; Co-Founder of Forte 

• Marie-Ange Eyoum Tagne, PhD - Tech executive ex-Meta, Amazon, Yahoo; Author & global speaker

• Danny Kim - Founder & CTO of FullArmor; STEM innovation at Valley, launching experiments to International Space Station

Words that really landed:

• Marie-Ange:  “God speaks to us in our own accent. If you’re a parent… you know to communicate with each one of your kids… It’s the same way with our Good Father.”

• William: A powerful lived-out example of Andy Crouch’s “I sacrifice, we win.” And solid principle: “Prayer, scripture and wise counsel. That triangle has to be equilateral… Anytime your life is going in different ways, it’s probably because one of those is off.” - William Norvel

• Nancy: “Every leader struggles with fear. And the worst thing about leaders is they think they don’t… It’s mentioned 365 times in the Bible — He invites us not to be afraid.”

• Danny:  “God knows when you make a bold move, he’s not going to disclose everything tomorrow because you probably wouldn’t make that bold move. But He actually waits for you to make that first step and then the journey is made.” - Danny Kim

• And a wild story about the power of prayer and how dophins guided their team to their lost rover at the bottom of the sea during an XPRIZE competition!! (start at 33:00)

The mission only you can carry

To bring convergence home, people used the hands-on creative exploration — taking Stanford d.school design thinking tools and applying them to the convergence of passion, gift, and impact.

The result: a uniquely articulated personal mission — and a concrete first step toward acting on it.

The conversation doesn’t end here
