Meet Leaders on Purpose
Founded as a research collaboration between leaders, practitioners and experts from Harvard University, Unilever, The World Bank and The London School of Economics, the Leaders on Purpose team connects the CEO agenda with the Global agenda through corporate purpose and corporate strategy.
Our team has over 20 years of expertise in the fields of purpose-driven leadership, corporate strategy and cross-sectorial partnerships. We provide leaders with insights, solutions and a global community to support their ambition to anchor corporate purpose into corporate strategy. Our team specializes in three areas: Capacity Building, Community Building and Coalitions.
