From Ice Cream to Impact: Building Bridges in Polarized Times

Jessie has spent her career demonstrating that businesses can be powerful forces for social change, from Amnesty International to The Body Shop, IKEA, and now Ben & Jerry's. She specializes in co-creating innovative programmes that place lived experience at the heart of business strategy, mobilizing millions around issues from refugee inclusion to women's rights.

Whether it's developing new ice cream flavours with refugee entrepreneurs through the UP Collective or finding ways for organizations to engage meaningfully with thorny social issues, Jessie's work demonstrates how collaboration across sectors can create a rising tide that lifts all ships.

Come ready to be inspired by practical examples of what's possible when we design with inclusion, not just for it.
