I am an advisor, published author in HBR, and start up coach for social innovators.
I founded a business design and innovation studio called Two Lings and a fortnightly newsletter for social innovators called "Zen & The Art of Social Innovation". In order to share learnings over the past decade, I co-authored an article in HBR on Corporate Social Innovation. See links below to access the website, newsletter, and HBR article.
I am passionate about the power of large institutions to be an agent for social and environmental change. Two Lings works with corporations, NGOs, and development organizations to bring scalable solutions to social or environmental challenges in underserved markets by leveraging their core expertise and assets. Some of our recent clients include Unilever, Pearson, and Verizon.
Over the years, I have also served as a mentor for MIT’s Global Ideas Competition and Unreasonable Institute’s Project Literacy Lab. I've created webinars for Plus Acumen’s Learning Lab and Grand Challenges Canada Accelerator. My portfolio of social innovations span from infant malnutrition and safe drinking water to increasing access to digital education and youth employability. These innovations have spanned these markets: USA, Australia, Kenya, Senegal, Mali, eSwatini, South Africa, Ghana, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.
I am an enthusiastic Sloanie '07 & MPAID'er '08, Ashtangi, and Meditator.
I love hearing from others working in social innovation. Please get in touch!
