Hi, I’m
Brianna Dickey

SERVICES

The world faces many complex, interrelated challenges, and it is clear many of our fundamental systems are broken. Unless we can understand the bigger picture in which these challenges sit, we will only end up mitigating problems or providing superficial solutions.

I'm motivated by some of the world’s most pressing concerns, focusing on the way we manage, value, trade, and regulate our global natural resources. By crafting solutions to match this scale and complexity, we have the potential to positively impact millions of lives.

It’s an inspiring vision; one I work towards with partners through multi-stakeholder collaborations, one-to-one work and coaching so that together, we can reinvent the way the world works.

DESIGN

I design sustainability programs and strategies.

DEVELOP

I develop technical solutions and innovations.

OPTIMIZE

I analyze existing systems for optimization.

CONNECT

I connect people, programs and opportunities.

ABOUT

With a personal dedication to making a meaningful difference in the world, I've always been drawn to the challenges and opportunities at the nexus of innovation and impact.

As a seasoned entrepreneur I've focused on the convergence of sustainable development, technological innovation, and financial inclusion. By reimagining the purpose of business in our society and economy we can enable systemic and urgent action towards a more sustainable future.

Leveraging a background in operational design, I started a think tank to make meaningful contributions to forward-thinking organizations ready to align their impact objectives with their core competencies. As a strategic consultant, I've partnered with industry leaders to coordinate multi-million dollar initiatives for digitization, supply chain enablement, economic development, and capacity building in commodity sectors across Latin America and East Africa.

Responding directly to the recurring gaps identified across the industry, I developed a software platform aimed at empowering the agricultural sector with advanced tools to streamline and de-risk trade. The award-winning, venture-backed startup modernized supply chains across Ethiopia as the nation's first licensed e-commerce platform helping drive the digital revolution forward.

Engaged in policy work in an effort to develop public-private sector alignment, I regularly contribute to working groups on sustainable supply chains, technology interoperability standards, anti-corruption strategies, and economic development. I've contributed editorial pieces on market trends and risk mitigation in international commodities trade, and am an experienced public speaker, having presented on global stages, with the hopes of increasing coordinated efforts towards a more sustainable future.
