RISE For Profit Social Entrepreneur CEO Directory

November, 2006: We are pleased to announce the launch of the RISE Social Entrepreneur CEO Directory. Use this searchable database to find contact, mission and biographical information for over 200 for-profit CEOs and managers surveyed in the RISE / Investors’ Circle / Social Venture Network For-Profit Social Entrepreneur Report.

The directory includes information about CEOs and top managers of for-profit companies who participated in our survey of social entrepreneurs in 2003/2004. All of the managers identified themselves as entrepreneurs working to lead their companies to provide both financial returns and positive social value. These entrepreneurs also started their companies in 1984 or later. Companies were invited to update their directory information in 2006, and will be annually going forward. Most of the CEOs are based in the US, but the directory includes some from outside and we welcome more submissions.

To recommend another company or CEO for the directory, please send the company name, CEO name and CEO email to Cathy Clark, cathy@cathyhc.com.
