Angie Draskovic
Founder & CEO, ZOË Alliance Inc.
Angie is an accomplished executive, whose experience comprises a unique blend of 24 years of business and non-profit leadership in corporate and entrepreneurial settings.
As a senior executive with Lucent Technologies and Zhone Technologies, among others, Angie has established footholds for start-up businesses in competitive markets, implemented new business models for established businesses and led teams to achieve unprecedented sales results of over US$700 million.
Applying her entrepreneurial skill set and strategic perspectives, Angie has helped grow donation revenues for the non-profit sector over the past six years, including a large hospital charity as well as pioneering a new foundation which led to over $1.2 million in donations for its beneficiary charity during its first year.
Angie’s experience in both careers fostered an ability to grasp leadership and financial challenges of both business and charitable organizations. This formed the foundation for the vision and birth of ZOË Alliance, a global alliance that harnesses market forces to help developing nations grow their economies and alleviate poverty.
Angie participates as a board member and advisor for several charitable organizations. She is part of a growing global community working toward sustainable enterprise development and actively collaborates with colleagues in Social Enterprise, Microfinance, and International Development organizations.
