Committed to building a global movement on inclusive business to build an equal society for the one billion people in the world with a disability, she set up several organisations and initiatives centred on disability business inclusion.
Caroline Casey’s latest initiative, #valuable, has reached 810 million people to date and resulted in her working with the world’s most influential CEOs, brands and platforms to put disability on the global business leadership agenda. Casey is also a TED speaker and a past advisor for the Clinton Global Initiative and is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.
As a child, Dublin-born Caroline developed an eye condition (ocular albinism) that renders her legally blind, but it wasn’t until she was planning to drive that her family finally informed her of her ‘disability’.
Her approach now is the same one she took then, at just 17. Look past your limits. Tap into and activate your potential. And if you fail, ‘fail fabulously’ and start over.
This message of resilience and compassion has brought Caroline to events across the globe and on adventures like 2017’s 1000km horse trek through Colombia to speak at One Young World.
An advisor, ambassador, mentor, board member and international speaker, Caroline has a remarkable and rare ability to connect with people. Her extraordinary personal story of coming to terms with her own hidden disability and turning that perceived ‘weakness’ into professional and personal success is relatable, funny, humbling and deeply meaningful.
Today, as founder of Valuable, Caroline is committed to building a global movement. Collaborating with some of the world’s leading organisations and CEOs, she has identified the new business imperative for success: inclusive business. What Caroline often refers to as ‘The New Green’ is a movement that calls on business to awaken to the untapped potential of the 1 billion people that live with a disability.
