Our Guests:
Maggie Miller, Founder
A day in Maggie’s life as co-Founder of Digital Union means joyously helping companies all over the globe marry profit and purpose by building social impact programs. Through these programs, leaders model what positive power a company has when it combines profit and purpose, living and giving, consumption and contribution, and leverages the might of the private sector to build conscious communities. Wherever social innovation is happening, you’ll find Maggie on the ride.
Maggie is also Founder of DiscoverHope, an international development nonprofit creating opportunities for women in developing nations to build prosperity through microcredit loans and educational training. Implementing successful microcredit concepts from well-respected microcredit institutions such as Grameen Bank, DiscoverHope was born during Maggie’s residence in the town of Cajamarca, (northern) Peru for two years amongst families in extreme poverty. Maggie formed DiscoverHope as a 501(c)(3) and served as the Executive Director of DiscoverHope for eight years.
