Sascha Haselmayer Email & Phone Number

I am an author, social entrepreneur, and adviser to leaders of social change. I work at Ashoka. I have led urban and government innovation projects in over 40 countries. I trained as an architect and am an Ashoka Fellow, a non-resident Fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and a former Fellow at New America. I founded Citymart in 2011, an organization that transformed expectations and practices of public procurement by introducing civic engagement, diversity, and innovation to a core bureaucratic process. Prior to Citymart I pioneered the development of inclusive urban innovation districts and civic service innovation in cities through co-founding Living Labs Global in 2003, a non-profit network of urban innovation labs and Interlace-Invent in 2001, advising governments, investors, and universities in Europe and Asia. I have built countless coalitions, partnerships and managed complex grants and contracts with city halls, governments, foundations, investors, and businesses. I have been recognized for my contributions to urban, social and public service innovation. I have delivered keynotes at global events and lectured at institutions like the London School of Economics, IESE and Chicago University. I have been a trusted adviser to organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies and the Aspen Institute. I served on the selection committee of the Bloomberg Mayor’s Challenge and the Advisory Board of the UN Global Compact Cities Programme.
