Managing Director Brittany Jacobs, who holds an MBA from the cutting-edge Bainbridge Graduate Institute, first encountered Worldchanging in 2006 when she helped organize our book tour. She now returns to sit at the helm of Worldchanging's business team. On any given day, Brittany has her capable hands full managing projects and organizational logistics, administering contracts, fielding proposals and planning fabulous events.

While the rest of us are often happy to end the workday with veggie stew and a glass of wine, Brittany spends most of her free time climbing, skiing, backpacking, kite-boarding, running and otherwise maxing out her enjoyment of the gorgeous Pacific Northwest. Her endless energy motivates the team even better than our daily dose of locally roasted coffee. But what fuels Brittany better than anything is the real quest for a better world. As this internationally savvy traveler puts it, "We look beyond our backyard and bring a global perspective to the solutions on which we report. I see this type of responsible reporting as a tool that can help build a global community and shape the future in which we want to live." Contact Brittany at brittany[at]worldchanging[dot]com.
