Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs is too often introduced through her late husband, but I think she deserves to be read on her own ledger. As founder of Emerson Collective and lead investor in The Atlantic, she has built a philanthropic operation that behaves less like a checkbook and more like a venture firm aimed at social change, focusing on education, immigration, and the environment. What interests me is her deliberate, almost engineered approach to giving away wealth: she treats philanthropy as design, not charity. I respect anyone who inherits enormous resources and spends a lifetime asking how to deploy them well.
