Global Perspectives is an innovation incubator for improving our planet.
We believe that the free market is the biggest impediment but also the biggest opportunity for improving livelihoods. We leverage free-market driven innovation (think influencers in 2011 or AI in 2023) to maximize organizational growth.
We then drive impact by defining strategic priorities and measurement frameworks that can provide positive outcomes for economic growth.
Whether it’s by founding new organization or advising existing ones, we work by partnering directly with world-changing CEOs as Board Chairs, Lead Independent Board Members or Lead Strategic Advisors.
Our Team
It all begins with a problem and a passion to solve the problem. We like to go deep in our work and our commitment to our partners.
