Igniting Change Podcast Season 3: Episode 5

Over 339 million people around the world are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and protection, with countless more affected by fragility, conflicts, and vulnerability.

On this week’s episode, Rich and Gabby sit down with Feraye Ozfescioglu, CEO at the World Humanitarian Forum (WHF), the largest and most inclusive nonpartisan forum in humanitarian aid and international development. A massive focus for WHF is taking the conversations and turning them into actions.

The inception of the World Humanitarian Forum started with a summit hosted in Istanbul by the UN in 2016, and it was evident there was a need for an organisation to become a convener of humanitarian organisations across the world.

Feraye Ozfescioglu is the CEO of the World Humanitarian Forum. She has been working within the group companies for 14 years and she is a strategist with cross-sector knowledge. She is passionate about humanitarian aid and international development and has been involved in this since 2010.

She has been involved in the management of G8 – G20 Summits, EXPO organisations and she was the event director of the first ever World Humanitarian Summit. She has international expertise and has been a consultant for UN.

She was selected as one of the women leaders who will influence the future of the world by Goldman Sachs and US State Department.
