What is ExecWB?
At Executives Without Borders, our goal is to serve as the critical link between experienced individuals eager to serve the global community and humanitarian projects around the world. ExecWB recruits experienced business leaders around the world who volunteer for service and place them around the world to execute projects directed at improving the quality of life. These business leaders are able to apply their experience to existing resources and continue their successful careers by contributing to communities in need.
First and foremost, ExecWB target projects aligned with the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals ( www.un.org/millenniumgoals ) that include having extreme poverty to combating HIV, malaria, and other diseases. Second, we target projects that will provide sustainable benefits to a developing community for multiple generations. The final and most challenging criterion for a project is the transference of knowledge: the ability to impart skills learned from ExecWB to others in the community long after the initial project is completed.
ExecWB is a non-profit organization founded in 2007 after identifying that many projects in developing countries were in need of business and consulting skills, but were sourcing this work to large for-profit organizations at a high cost. The fees required to secure these services depleted funds that would could otherwise be used directly to benefit people in need, instead of to a shareholder of the business organization. Importantly, ExecWB does not select projects influenced by any political, religious, or economic factors and ExecWB's volunteers are compensated modestly for living and travel expenses.
