Jean Oelwang Recap: Partnering the Virgin Way

Partnering the Virgin Way with Jean Oelwang 

Todays episode is one I am so excited for. Jean Oelwang is an
incredible leader and she shared someone epic insights in this
episode.

Jean is the founding CEO and President of Virgin Unite, an
entrepreneurial foundation that builds collectives, incubates
ideas and re-invents systems for a better world. 

Over the last 15 years, she has worked with partners to lead the
incubation and start-up of several global initiatives, including:
The Elders, The B Team, The Carbon War Room (successfully merged
with the RMI), Ocean Unite, The Caribbean Climate Smart
Accelerator, 100% Human at Work, The Virgin Unite Constellation
and The Branson Centres of Entrepreneurship. 

As part of her work over the last three decades, Jean has helped
corporations put the wellbeing of people and the planet at their
core, including working with over 25 Virgin businesses across 15
industries to help embed purpose in all they do.  Jean also
served as a Partner in the Virgin Group leading their people
strategy. 

 Jean has long explored the overlap of the business and
social sectors and has been involved in both, having worked for
the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife in Australia, and
in numerous volunteer roles, including a year-long stint as a
VISTA volunteer where she worked with – and learned from -
homeless teens in Chicago. 

Jean recently wrote a book called Partnering which is about
forging deep connections that make great things
happen.
