Pip Wheaton

Pip Wheaton currently leads the team finding Ashoka Fellows across Europe, and co-leads Ashoka’s Planet & Climate team, a new team which is deploying Ashoka's network for collective climate action. The three issues that are most likely to get her fired up are climate breakdown, inequality, and gender.

Pip spent nearly 7 years in South Africa, where she founded a youth-development organisation - enke: Make Your Mark. The organisation recently celebrated it's 11th birthday and is going from strength to strength since Pip left. After six years as enke’s CEO, she handed over the reigns to study her Oxford MBA. She fully intended to go back, but life happened, and Oxford is a very beautiful place to end up instead.

For her work in social innovation she’s been awarded a Skoll Scholarship, an Ashoka Fellowship; and she was a World Economic Forum Global Shaper in Johannesburg.
