Hi. My name is John O’Connell. For almost 30 years I’ve been in the global capital markets space.

Young investors have lived through an enormous number of social movements, including Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and marches on Washington. These young investors want to drive social change.

I believe that investors can have their money reflect their values. Investors can join other like-minded investors and use their collective power to promote real change within companies.

Shareholders choose the board of directors and board members choose the CEO. Shareholders joining together to create Activist Investor groups can drive meaningful change from the board level.

My speaking engagements help investors to understand the shareholder’s power and how to leverage it to drive change. Financial advisors and wealth managers can understand how to successfully work with activist investor clients.

Audiences who experience John’s presentations walk away inspired, excited, and with a new sense of purpose to their investing and engaging with their clients.
