“Transforming Disruption to Impact is a collection of voices that sing a powerful, poignant song: The lyrics tell us that, yes, our world has been dramatically disrupted . . . but we have within our reach the tools, the techniques, the principles, the practices, and the people who will show us how to transform this disruption into something positive and enduring. Service to others is what binds us together as humans; it is what propels us forward, even (perhaps especially) through the darkest times. This book reminds us that our darkest moments can eventually create the brightest light—again, through service to each other and to our communities. This book is what the world needs, precisely when the world needs it.”

Hi, I'm Jerome
Corporate Social Impact Strategist...
Writer...
Speaker...
Ultra-marathoner...
Picture this: I stormed the seas as a sailor in the United States Navy from 2004 to 2012, forging an unbreakable bond with purpose along the way. It was this fiery determination that propelled me into the captivating world of corporate social impact. Now, I'm on a mission to help companies design, build, and implement mind-blowing social impact programs that'll leave a lasting mark on the world.
But wait, there's more! When I'm not revolutionizing the way businesses make a difference, I'm out there pushing my limits as an endurance athlete. Nature is my playground, and running ultra-marathons – namely 50k and 50 Milers - is how I challenge myself to go above and beyond, just as I do in my work.
Grit, determination, and discipline are my guiding principles, both on the open trails and in my professional endeavors. I bring the same unwavering commitment to every project I tackle, fueled by the belief that together, we can achieve greatness.
So buckle up! Join me on this wild ride as we harness the power of purpose, blend it with unwavering commitment, and make an indelible mark on the world. Together, we'll rewrite the rules and redefine what it means to make a lasting impact. Are you ready to dive headfirst into the extraordinary? Let's go!
