The Crowd

  • May 2016 - Aug 2018

  The Crowd is a platform for the business community to share ideas and innovations with the belief that many of the solutions already exist, it's just that not enough people know about them. Using the collective wisdom of crowds, we work with organisations to access these solutions, helping them align the requirements of investors with the demands of society.I managed The Crowd's monthly forum, which provides a platform for people working in big businesses who want to connect their company with society. The forums consist of key note speeches, panel discussions and round table sessions to explore the big social issues of our time, such as youth unemployment, climate change and resource constraints, and ask how business can be the solution.Alongside the monthly forums, I managed business operations, including monthly financial reporting, website management and analytics, marketing materials design, and database management.
