John Megrue – The Art of Maximizing Your Impact
BornFree is a collaborative effort that has brought together some interesting partnerships. John has asked Anna Wintour and Diane Von Furstenburg to be a part of Born Free and together they have approached 23 of the most famous fashion designers in the world, who are also mothers, to create products in their own style with the proceeds supporting BornFree. Designers like Victoria Beckham, Donna Karen and Tori Burch have all lent their designs to this cause; helping other mothers globally to ensure the health and wellbeing of their children. It is a cause that that all mothers can empathize with and John Megrue has provided these businesswomen with a platform from which to give back at the height of their careers.
John is paving the way for a new breed of business; one that measures success not just in profits but also in the ability to create lasting global change. By blending his passion for business with his passion for global health issues, he not only has been able to give back himself but has also allowed other savvy entrepreneurs to follow suit and assist in causes that they can connect with. Mothers, no matter where they live or work, no matter how wealthy they are, care deeply about their children. BornFree speaks not only to the connection between business and philanthropy but also the connection between mother and child. It’s certainly a cause worth being passionate about.
