The Architect of Impact: Santiago Lefebvre – Building a Global Movement for Change
Humanist and relentlessly action-driven, Santiago Lefebvre is the visionary Founder and CEO behind ChangeNOW. Recognizing the urgent need for scalable solutions, he launched ChangeNOW in 2017, creating a powerful nexus for the world’s most innovative minds and influential leaders dedicated to planetary well-being. In a remarkable span of just three years, ChangeNOW has evolved into the planet’s largest event focused on environmental and social solutions.
Beyond the annual summit, Santiago is actively constructing a comprehensive global impact ecosystem. He co-founded Tech for Good France, which later merged into Mouvement Impact France, the leading business association for social entrepreneurs where he currently serves on the board. His commitment extends to investing in the future as a Partner at 50Partners and an early-stage investor in numerous impact-driven startups.
Santiago’s influence reaches beyond the business sphere. In 2021, he spearheaded the “Ranking of Top Schools to Change the World,” published in Les Echos, highlighting the crucial role of education in fostering change. He also serves on the board of the Jane Goodall Institute France, is a trained Climate Reality Leader by Al Gore, and has been recognized as a LinkedIn “Top Voice” in sustainability. Named one of the “50 under 40” shaping France’s future, Santiago, an alumnus of EMLYON and INSEAD, embodies a powerful blend of vision and execution for a better world.
