OUR APPROACH
Core Impact is founded on the idea that the biggest societal impact a company can have is through its core business. Our mission is to help purpose driven companies apply the best thinking in business strategy and marketing to grow their bottom line and their social good.
Meet Our Founder and Chief Marketing Strategist
Anne has a passion for doing good through business. She fell in love with business at Harvard college while doing a marketing internship for a local beer company. Anne went on to join P&G for a near 15 year career in brand management where she worked on Pantene, Herbal Essences and the P&G Corporate brand.
Over the course of her career, she began to feel a growing tension between business’ unintended negative impacts on the world and its immense potential to solve social and environmental problems. After helping develop and market P&G’s sustainability programs for a decade, she left P&G to start Core Impact. As founder and Principal, Anne provides strategic guidance and practical execution to companies driven to have a positive impact.
“Anne will operate with a practical, results-oriented approach that is more like an employee than a consultant. I feel as if I am receiving expert guidance that Anne would implement if she owned the business herself.”
Curt VanderMeer, CEO Endangered Species Chocolate

Startups think a lot about product-market fit (PMF). Established companies? Not so much. This is a missed opportunity.
