21: Philanthropy Podcast: Philanthropy is a People’s Business

Our Philanthropy Podcast series, brought to you by Catalytica Consulting and Prospectus, is a series where we delve into vital issues for the philanthropic sector with inspirational and innovative leaders. For our very first episode, we were delighted to welcome Fabio Segura and Simon Sommer, who are Co-CEOs of the Jacobs Foundation, a Zurich-based philanthropic organisation with a unique focus on education. The Foundation invests in the future of children so that they are given the education and learning opportunities they need to thrive.In this episode, we gain an insight into what it really means to be a Co-CEO, how the foundation decides what areas to focus on, adapting to work with different cultures around the world, what failure and success look like, plus lots more.
