Annika Schneider

As a business graduate, Annika experienced again and again an economic system that prioritizes profits above all else. A system in which employees are regarded as interchangeable resources and founders are only successful if they reach astronomical wealth through an exit. Weary of this one-dimensional narrative and willing to commit to an economy that works for people and planet, Annika joined PURPOSE in 2019. She leads Purpose’s international partnerships, engaging with entrepreneurs across the globe. Annika is deeply passionate about the transformative power of steward-ownership to address systemic issues and fill workplaces with renewed energy and proactivity worldwide.
