Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

I’m eager to share my conversion with this week’s guest, Marga Hoek. Marga is a rare combination. She’s a true visionary on sustainable business, capital and technology, and a successful business leader. As a three-time CEO, board member, chair and founder of Business for Good, she applies her vision on how businesses can be a true force for good in practice. She's also a bestselling and multi-award-winning author of Trillion Dollar Shift and now her latest book, Tech for Good. She continues to champion a phrase she coined: “Business for good is good business.”

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders who want to utilize technology for societal impact.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… business growth and societal impact are not an either/or decision. In this episode, Marga highlights how embracing technology allows leaders to address global challenges while driving business growth.

WHAT I LOVE MOST… Marga cites the statistic that 69 of the 100 largest economies by revenue are businesses, not countries. This is a wake-up call to business leaders who have the power to drive change to create a better future.
