Warren Valdmanis

Warren Valdmanis leads a social impact fund that invests in the American workforce with the focus on corporate social responsibility. He was previously a managing director with Bain Capital's social impact fund, and before that worked with Bain Capital's private equity team for over a decade in Australia, Chile, France, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, and the United States.

Valdmanis and co-author, Michael O’Leary’s book, Accountable: The Rise of Citizen Capitalism, offers a pragmatic and original view on how to transform capitalism into a system that's more inclusive, sustainable, and just. By combining compelling examples and analytical insights, O’Leary and Valdmanis cut through the tired dogma of current economic thinking to reveal a hopeful truth: If we can make our corporations accountable to a deeper purpose, we can make capitalism both prosperous and good. Likely to spark controversy among cynics and dreamers alike, this book is essential reading for anyone with a stake in reforming capitalism — which means all of us.
