Richard Crespin
CEO
CollaborateUp
Richard accelerates collaboration among businesses, governments, and non-profits when they work together to solve big problems.
Seeing firsthand how many multi-stakeholder collaborations often fall short of their goals, Richard developed the CollaborateUp Formula to help organizations collaborate more effectively. Richard has a proven track record of engaging stakeholders and leading co-creation initiatives across multiple organizations, sectors, and societies.
Richard serves a Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and as an adjunct professor at The George Washington University where he teaches public-private partnerships. He served as a Senior Fellow for the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation and as a featured lecturer on social innovation at Georgetown University and the Harvard School of Public Health. He serves on several boards, including the Green Electronics Council, the Listen Learn Care (formerly the Office Depot) Foundation, and the Programme Committee for the UN World Data Forum. Richard is an alumnus of both George Washington and the Harvard Business School.
