My unusual upbringing taught me to think differently, to see the world via threads of connectedness, and the joy that can be found in the smallest of spaces where love and life can flourish. Embracing my unique worldview and striving for a life of adventure and purpose, is at the essence of who I am. Often described as a powerhouse of strategic and creative innovation and ideation, I am a visionary who equally values action. I am passionate about pushing boundaries, breaking down silos and interrupting existing thinking and frameworks, to build highly effective solutions that generate sustainable, positive change. I am an innovator with strong leadership skills, consistently delivering results through executive oversight of the Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) Advocacy Hub, uniting the Private Sector, UN agencies, NGOs and Civil Society to strengthen efforts towards ending world hunger by 2030.As an inspirational visionary I possess the ability to pioneer creative ideas whilst staying faithful to the core mission. My expertise lies in successful global projects delivery, including the establishment of the Chefs’ Manifesto network with over 1200 Chefs across 90 countries, with a strong focus on driving food systems transformation.A skilled communicator, I start movements that make global impact and change. I possess strong business acumen, and exceptional advocacy skills, with the ability to build deeply engaging relationships and influence decision makers, improve practices, drive change, and deliver impactful solutions to complex problems alongside communities around the world.Paul Newnham is the host of Future Fork podcast.
