MEET
OUR JUDGES 2021

When it comes to finding Social Impact Leaders, our Judges know what they’re looking for.

Meet our Judges: people who’ve led countries, re-written laws – and been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize along the way. Award-winning journalists, powerful activists.

People who’ve created movements, changed the world through philanthropy, designed new ways for women to work in the world.

From business to academia, arts to science, tech to health, they’re all forces for change. And they’re all here to empower others to make an impact too. Get ready to get inspired.
