Scott Harrison

Biography

Scott spent almost 10 years as a nightclub promoter in New York City before leaving to volunteer on a hospital ship off the coast of Liberia, West Africa as a volunteer photojournalist. Returning home to New York City two years later, he founded the non-profit organization charity: water in 2006. Turning his full attention to the global water crisis and the world's 785 million people without clean water to drink, he created public installations and innovative online fundraising platforms to spread international awareness of the issue. In 15 years, with the help of more than 1 million donors worldwide, charity: water has raised over $640 million and funded 91,414 water projects in 29 countries. When completed, those projects will provide more than 14.76 million people with clean, safe drinking water. Scott has been recognized on Fortune magazine's list of 40 Under 40, Forbes' Impact 30, and Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business, where he earned the #10 spot. He is currently a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and author of the New York Times Bestselling book Thirst. Scott and his wife Viktoria have two children, Jackson and Emma.

"He runs charity:water like a great startup. He understands virality and evangelism better than most folks in the industry. He's disrupted the whole charity model."

"Scott is disrupting charity by rethinking the foundation of it. And by applying it to foundational issues which solve many problems, not just one. He realizes that to truly change something, you must change yourself, and in this case, the organization you're building. charity:water is not just innovating how to track its effect around the world, but how charities should be run."
