Ashoka Executive in Residence

“It is an amazing experience working with such a talented and driven individual who is so focused on using innovative thinking and technology to reshape the healthcare industry... I had the opportunity to really dig deeper and gain insight into emerging models that create an enabling environment for healthcare and access to safe and reliable drugs”

Through the Executive in Residence program, corporate executives work on-site with leading social entrepreneurs around the world for a period of from two weeks to six months. During this time with the social entrepreneur, the executive tackles a challenge that is critical to the social entrepreneur’s ability to scale their impact.

Simultaneously, by working with the world’s leading social innovators, the executives bring back lessons learned about new innovations, emerging markets, and leadership techniques. At the end of their on-site placement, the executive and social entrepreneur continue to collaborate virtually and gain the opportunity to create shared value partnerships for their organizations.

Through this program, companies can:

1. Gain access to Ashoka’s unparalleled global network of more than 3,000 Ashoka Fellows across more than 90 countries.
2. Collaborate with Fellows that are applying cutting-edge social innovation to fields such as community development, education, financial services, healthcare, and human rights.
3. Contribute to exponential social impact through well-defined, high-impact projects with Fellows who are already making a difference.
4. Lay the groundwork to realize shared value via highly customized placements that match your company’s strategic interests, executive skill sets, and Fellow projects.
5. Take advantage of Ashoka’s 25 years of experience facilitating pro bono opportunities for executives at Boehringer-Ingelheim, McKinsey & Co., Western Union, and others.
