Tsedo Sherpa-Ednalino is the COO of Sherpa Adventure Gear. Leading with humility (and flexibility) is part of her Sherpa heritage and it’s a tenet of her life as an executive and a mother.
Sherpa Adventure Gear was founded by Tsedo’s father in 2003 to help elevate the Sherpa people and the “unsung heroes of Everest.” Tsedo grew up learning about the apparel business from her parents and still looks up to them as role models in work and life. In this episode, we get to learn from Tsedo and the way her family has used their business to create quality gear that has a positive impact on the Sherpa culture.

I recently listened to this episode and was extremely excited because it directly tied to a Non-Profit I’m working with call Team Gyan. Our purpose is to rebuild the schools in rural communities of Nepal with earthquake-resistant technology and structures to ensure that every child in Nepal can have access to at least a basic education in a safe environment. The founder Suman Kumar is from Nepal and now studying engineering in the US to try to get the skills needed to help build his company. In the podcast and on the Sherpa Adventure Gear website, there was a talk about giving back to the Nepal community and a focus on education. We would love to hear more about your story and any advice for starting an organization in Nepal.
