Recording: Featured Speaker: Finding Your Purpose: Why Putting Purpose Over Profits is Good for Business , Mar 11, 2023

Hamdi Ulukaya’s ongoing mission for Chobani is to be a force for good. He believes business has a responsibility to address society’s biggest problems, starting with the workforce & workplace. It is this ethos that led to his special bond with Chobani’s employees and its local communities, and his philanthropic efforts to fight child hunger and support refugees.

Hamdi’s SXSW session will explore why the workplace must be a starting point for addressing societal issues. Together with Ayeshah Abuelhiga, Founder & CEO, Mason Dixie Foods and graduate from Chobani’s incubator program, Hamdi will share his thoughts on the need for CEOs, entrepreneurs & business-minded people to adopt people-first values within the workplace and the importance of creating opportunities for employees to grow & thrive. The discussion will address steps businesses can take to ensure authenticity in their actions and dispel the myth that companies cannot act for social good without compromising business performance.
