hello. i’m corinne.
I’m a Fulbright Scholar and MIT Sloan Fellow who believes that entrepreneurship and innovation are key drivers of social change. By day I’m a VP at Unreasonable Group, supporting the world’s most impactful entrepreneurs. I want to be a philanthropist when I grow up :)
My heart lives with those who are the most excluded from our economies: refugees, disabled communities, the incarcerated, and those at the socio-economic margins of society. I fight for their inclusion and I want to fund solutions that help them.
experience.
I started working as an arts educator, and spent several years working globally as a professional musician. After studying public policy and social innovation as a Fulbright Fellow, I worked in the social enterprise space, training migrant and refugee micro-entrepreneurs in South Africa.
I eventually ended up at the UN Refugee Agency, where I developed high and low-tech refugee innovations with some of the world’s most impactful brands. After a year at MIT, doing my MBA as an Innovation and Global Leadership Fellow, I co-founded Uncomfortable Revolution, a social enterprise on a mission to change the way we see disability and chronic illness.
I now work in service of the world’s most daring entrepreneurs who are building truly world-changing technologies.
