Biography

Jon Duschinsky is a global thought leader, social innovator and founder of Business for Good. Data proves that Good Businesses are 30% more innovative and have 40% higher levels of workforce retention than their competition, while their stock values grow twice as fast. He inspires future-thinking leaders to embrace the principles of Business for Good and to Make More Money by Doing More Good, accelerating their innovation, social and environmental impact and talent retention, particularly with GenZ and Millennials.

Jon Duschinsky has provided expert advice to clients in over 60 countries, including Airbus, Accor, Pernod-Ricard, Sodexo, NASCAR, Prudential and Maybank as well as the Governments of Germany, the US, France and the UAE. He has coached hundreds of leaders and future leaders, written two books and lectures regularly at universities around the world. The first part of Jon’s career was spent developing philanthropy and social impact, co-founding a fundraising agency at the age of 21 and then working at a national level to build civil society, initially in France and then across Eastern and Central Europe. The publication of his first book “Philanthropy in a Flat World” led him to be sought out by forward-thinking corporate leaders as a speaker and advisor on Corporate Social Responsibility and Purpose-Driven Business. For the last decade, Jon has helped companies of all sizes, as well as governments, move from Profit to People, Planet and Profit.

At the heart of his work is this unique double culture and ability to navigate seamlessly between the worlds of business and social impact. And because leaders can only ask others to stand with them if they know what they stand for, Jon Duschinsky also reaches beyond the Boardroom into the space of leadership transformation to unlock meaning and purpose in the lives of all those he works with. A Good Business stands for and takes meaningful action on something bigger than its products and services. It focuses on making a difference and by doing so, makes money. And it is led by people who have aligned what they stand for personally with what the organization they serve stands for.

“Anyone who sees Jon in action recognizes his energy and vision; what they don’t always see is the rigor and the intellect behind the performance. Jon has a great empathy for the people and causes that he touches. Above all else, he makes connections –thinking laterally – broadly – drawing on his experience on the global stage and applying it for all our benefit” CEO of a Global Social Impact Organisation
“It'll take a while to really absorb all the work we did. It was transformational. You were a powerful mirror - clear, direct, unflinching and challenging, gentle, kind and strong. You brought what we are aspiring to be” KS, CIO of an International Design Company
“This was transformational. We’ve had great speakers before, but this was next level, this is for folks ready to make a grand leap into discovering and activating purpose. I feel incredibly fortunate and know that this work will last me a lifetime” NS, VP of an International Consulting Company
“It’s not just the power of the questions, it’s Jon’s ability to be able to call bulls**t on the answers. There’s nothing that I could throw at him that phased him - the business acumen, knowledge of metrics and markets means that he brings huge value to C-suite leaders”. CC, C-suite Leader of an International Hospitality Firm
“Jon, we want to personally thank you for your contribution. Working with you has been such a pleasure. Your delivery absolutely hit the mark, it was rehearsed, polished, dynamic, engaging, thought-provoking and envelope-pushing”. VP of a National Membership Organisation
