Ep92: Gil Ben Artzy | Founding Partner of UpWest

At age 16, I founded a breast cancer charity in memory of my late mother - that sparked my passion for social impact, and making a dent in our universe. My campaign has since raised over $500,000 (including $48,000 in under an hour), and spread nationwide. In 2018, I joined insuretech Lemonade to lead Social Impact and ESG. I have distributed over $4M in donations to our 100 partners organizations and our impact has grown 4,232% higher. I was named one of the 100 women to watch by Barclays, and have written for the Telegraph, Guardian and Forbes.
