About Andrew Kassoy:
Andrew Kassoy is co-founder of B Lab, the nonprofit organization behind the B Corp Movement. He recently stepped out of his CEO role to become Executive Vice Chair and focus on strategy and long-term growth. B Lab’s vision is stakeholder capitalism – in which business plays a transformative role in creating an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for all. B Lab drives systemic change by changing the culture, behavior, and structure of the business and the capital markets. The movement is led by the example of over 6,500 Certified B Corporations in 80 countries that meet high social and environmental performance standards, legal accountability, and public transparency.
Before leaving the private sector to form B Lab with two college mates, Bart Houlahan and Jay Coen Gilbert, Andrew spent 16 years as a partner in private equity funds at DLJ, Credit Suisse, and MSD Capital. Andrew was raised in Boulder, Colorado and graduated from Stanford University as a Truman Scholar. He lives in Brooklyn, NY, with his wife, Margot Brandenburg, and four children, Max, Jed, Etta, and Xavier.
