Biography

Our most significant contribution in life is the impact we create. Being at the forefront of change, especially where social mission is the driving force, creates specific risks and challenges for various actors: from local communities, grassroots organisations, NGOs and donors through to pioneering socially conscious companies or individuals and impact investors.

During my 20 years of experience as a social entrepreneur in high stakes contexts, the importance of harnessing knowledge and building resilience as ingredients of success in achieving change became evident. I created Kamara, a social enterprise that offer Holistic Strategies for Social Impact to help social change makers enhance their impact in an effective way by leveraging our expertise in holistic risk management, intelligent operational strategies and investigations.

Prior to Kamara, in 2008 I co-founded Videre Est Credere, an NGO with ground-breaking investigative and strategic methodologies used to expose human rights abuses and precipitate change in high risk territories.

Oren is an Ashoka Fellow, recipient of a Skoll Award and One Media Award, and is Ted Global speaker.
