Former Marine sniper Jake Wood learned a lot about the complex, inefficient nature of corporate giving as the founder of Team Rubicon. Now leading Groundswell, Jake is on a mission to use technology to democratize philanthropy and streamline the corporate donation process to instantly deploy funds where needed. Groundswell lets every employee control where their contributions go while also accessing tools and benefits previously only available to the wealthiest donors. He shares how his experiences -- from college sports to military service to representing Team Rubicon in board rooms -- prepared him to lead the creation of a tech platform to connect companies to non-profits.   Inside the ICE House: https://www.theice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house
