21st Century Leadership Chairman's Message

I am delighted to introduce another of the Foundation's social enterprises that will further assist us in generating revenues to aid our efforts in tackling key global development issues including poverty alleviation, the protection of children and environmental conservation. 

21st Century Leaders has been incredibly fortunate to have received the support and guidance of a great number of world leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities and businesses and it therefore seems fitting that we can now advise and assist enterprises and individuals, primarily located in emerging, frontier and developing markets, in their continued good governance and strength of leadership.

My own experiences have shown me that merging true leadership into an evolving and modernising society takes skill, perseverance and a desire to make real change, as is personified by so many of the Leaders who have engaged with our Foundation. It is therefore our aim to work with organisations and individuals to positively influence their businesses and careers to both enhance and embrace the challenges of the 21st Century.

It is therefore with enormous gratitude that we wish to thank all of our clients for the current and future support and in so doing their support of so many important charitable projects and causes.
