Following sessions with the Global Alliance for the Future of Food (NYC) and The Emerson Collective (CA), Jonathan J. Halperin addressed the audience at The Chesapeake Food Summit (DC), urging participants to let go of the myth of a “neat, clear, linear supply chain. It’s a web, a network, a system. We all need to think in systems. Systems connect silos.”
Helsinki was not an aberration. It is time we stopped being shocked. Trump and Putin share common goals and values: absolute need for loyalty, disdain for free and fair elections, willingness to use and discard people, and antipathy toward media.
Purpose seems to be catching fire. Empowered by yet another horrendous school massacre, students from Parkland have changed the American conversation in a momentous way.
Jonathan Halperin (Head of External Affairs) and Mike Brady (CEO) discuss Greyston's Open Hiring model and their plans to support other companies in its adoption. (Transform Finance Investor Network Webinar, January 24, 2018)
A pioneering social enterprise, Greyston practices Open Hiring™ – providing jobs to individuals who face barriers to employment – and supports its employees and community members with a range of community programs.
When we first started working with Greyston--New York's first registered benefit corporation, a hybrid social enterprise, and a world-class bakery--its history was rich and its story powerful.
Jonathan Halperin asks important questions, forces you to think strategically with an outcome orientation, and isn’t afraid to totally re-imagine the way of doing something to achieve desired objectives. Working with Jonathan to plan our annual conference of thought-leaders in food and other impact programs of the James Beard Foundation for several years has been an enlightening and rewarding experience. We feel smarter and more effective for having worked with him.
