maximise the thrival of every key stakeholder in and around their organization for
the lowest units of footprint possible. He acts as the Chairperson of the Foundation
and its associated organizations.
• Through his passion for strategy, transformation and healthy globalization, Robin
has helped the top teams of a few hundred of the world’s largest organizations
catalyze beneficial change in large scale systems.
• His lifelong passion for the Environmental and Social Justice means he’s been an
activist for 40 years, including leading the campaign for Nelson Mandela’s release
while qualifying as an Advocate of the Supreme Court.
• 22 years ago Robin worked with the World Bank to develop the first sustainable
energy strategy for the first Rio conference, and 20 years ago he helped to create
the modern Internet and what we now know as E-Business.
• Robin has been advising business and political leaders at all levels since then, as an
integrally informed practitioner, social entrepreneur and integral leader. Since
creating the Renaissance2 Foundation in 2008 at La Tour Apollinaire, his green
Chateau in France, he has been writing, speaking and organizing major events in
cities around the globe which have led to the ThriveAbility Calculus and the
ThriveAbility Index and Assessment.
