Some people refuse to accept the world as it is and set out to transform it. Join them, along with 1,000 of global development's most influential thinkers and doers, at Devex World to see how big ideas are reshaping our community and our impact.
MIGUEL MCKELVEY, co-founder and chief creative officer of WeWork, one of the most impactful private companies in the world today and currently valued at $20 billion after just seven years in business, is redefining the future of work. He's building a community where 'we' is greater than 'me' - a radical new model that could change the way all of us in global development work.
JAHA DUKUREH, founder of Safe Hands for Girls and avid women's rights and anti-FGM activist, is responsible for leading a campaign against FGM which resulted in the Gambian government banning the practice. As a survivor of FGM and child marriage, she will share an insider's view of the fight to end violence against girls, and you'll see how her approach - one that earned her a place on Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world at just 26 years old - is working.
SHIVANI SIROYA, founder of mobile technology and data science company TALA, is leading a revolution that's turning every mobile phone into a bank account. In her twenties she left a job at UNFPA to create a data-driven mobile app that generates credit scores for the 2.5 billion individuals currently lacking a financial identity. Among her achievements is raising the largest Series-B financing round ($30 million) by a woman founder. She'll pull back the curtain on how financial services for the poor is coming faster than anyone realizes and what it will mean for all of our work.
