By: Haiti Recovery and Development Company “In the immediate aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, I founded Haiti Recovery and Development Company with one simple goal: “to provide dignity to the dead and hope and opportunity for the living,” said Jim Lange, CEO of HR&DC. "Over the last four years I have continued to methodically build an organization specifically to address Haiti’s diverse and complex challenges. The latest member to join our executive team is Mr. David Wistocki. Mr. Wistocki has been hired as HR&DC’s Ambassador – Student Affairs. David’ Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Wistocki said, “Tucked within the chapters of my past four years rests a story of my own awakening that my greatest loyalty must forever be to the betterment of the human condition. This awakening motivated my leadership of teams of peers during my senior year at UT to innovate business models that could affect positive change for humanity. Whether we are initially successful or not is not what is important; the fact that we are trying, failing, reiterating, and trying again for a common purpose is what is important. In Jim’s words we are, “bringing light to the darkness” where it needs to be brought. If we inspire even one other person to think differently about the darkness they reside in, we have accomplished our roles as members of a global citizenry. I am excited for the road ahead and look forward to working with each member of HR&DC to accomplish the bold intentions Jim has set forth from day one to provide dignity for the dead, and hope and opportunity for the living.” About David Wistocki David Wistocki is a magna cum laude graduate and President’s Leadership Fellow of The University of Tampa (UT), August 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship and Accounting.
