Season 2 Ep.3: Nell Derick Debevoise Interview
Episode description
Learn about the unlikely journey of Nell Derick Debevoise, writer, speaker, facilitator, entrepreneur, and CEO. Nell Derick Debevoise has studied adult learning, innovation strategy, intercultural education, and organizational psychology at many of the world’s top universities (Harvard, Columbia Business School, London Business School, Cambridge, Sorbonne Nouvelle, and Università di Roma), starting with a public school education in Hartford, CT. She has lived and worked in the private, public, and for-profit sectors on four continents, supporting refugees in the Middle East; teaching corporate executives in New York about Stakeholder Capitalism; and mediating between Turkish and Cypriot officials.
This diverse experience revealed two related problems that led Nell to create Inspiring Capital. First, business professionals, and their organizations, crave ways to connect their work to a larger purpose. And on the other hand, social and environmental change cannot be left to the not-for-profit sector alone - all organizations must contribute to solving the critical problems of our time. A certified B Corp, Inspiring Capital engages, develops and inspires purpose-driven professionals in Fellowship programs, blending independent, peer, and expert learning - with a mission to shape fairer, healthier, more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative teams, organizations, communities, and economies.
