Arin Pinto – Energy & Emerging Markets

Faith Collides

Arin Pinto grew up in Texas yet has worked all over the world. His first trip abroad to India was a college internship with Goldman Sachs. After getting a master’s degree from Stanford University, he moved to China to study and do an internship with an energy-focused non-profit. From there, Arin moved to Ethiopia to take a low paying job with a private equity firm. When he tried to start his own business there, it failed, and he went back to the United States to figure out his next move.

That’s when Arin discovered that “there’s a deeper, spiritual, mental, emotion element to what people need and it’s not just money.” On this episode of Faith Collides, he’ll share how he reached that point, and how it changed his mindset. Then, you’ll hear how Arin worked his way from sub-contracting to being on the management team of Khudairi Group, a Houston-based company focused on the oil and gas sector in Iraq.

It’s a story that will open your eyes to what it might look like to work in emerging markets. It’ll also give you a taste of what got Arin into energy, and how this industry drives economies and may evolve in the future.
