There are opportunities everywhere to innovate, enter new markets and to secure future growth by tackling social and environmental challenges and supporting communities to grow. This is why I am passionate about innovation, collaboration and working with people who see business as potential for creating positive social change. Experience Scholar Super Being Labs January 2014 – Present (6 months)London, United Kingdom Super Being Labs creates, consults and supports ideas that have a positive impact on people and communities. With SBL I am developing a platform to engage communities with the social enterprises around them and to give them a voice in influencing which social enterprises their local authorities procure services from. Our goal is to create stronger social enterprises backed by the communities they work in, help manage investment risk through engaged market research and encourage more politically engaged citizens.
