Jean Oelwang, CEO and president of Virgin Unite, has worked with organizational partners to lead the incubation and start-up of several global initiatives for the past 15 years. Additionally, she recently launched her new book Partnering: Forge The Deep Connections That Make Great Things Happen.
Oelwang began her career at a telecommunications company. For 18 years, she spent most of her time helping build mobile phone companies in emerging markets, which led her to seven different countries. Ultimately, she started her own company along with a partner. They would set up an office, get the line of communications up and running, set up a local team, and then start on the following location. During this time, she became a Vista volunteer working with homeless teenagers in Chicago.
Her work at Virgin United sparked a quest to figure out how, as human beings, people build deep connections and then how do individuals take those deep connections to build more extensive collaborations. Oelwang spent the last 15 years interviewing 65 of the world’s greatest partnerships of the past century.
