Nim de Swardt
Entrepreneur, Social Change Catalyst, Speaker
From leading generational consumer strategy and internal innovation at some of the world’s best-known brands, Nim de Swardt has swopped the C-Suite for equity consulting and social entrepreneurial ventures that strengthen inter-generational connection and collaboration.
She is the Founder of the ‘WIN/WIN’ - a platform that uses storytelling to connect generations and incubates social change experiments to transform intergenerational challenges into opportunities. She is also Co-Founder of Tomorrow’s Air, the world's first consumer- driven carbon-removal collective, co-founded with the Adventure Travel Trade Association’s Christina Beckmann.
In 2020, Nim joined hospitality industry legend Chip Conley who pioneered the Mid-life Wisdom School ‘The Modern Elder Academy’ as a Catalyst Fellow. She has trained with polar explorer Sir Robert Swan OBE to be the next generation of climate change ambassadors through his Foundation 2041. In 2019, she was invited to join the UN’s global talent initiative ‘UNLEASH’- an Innovation Lab that took place in Shenzhen China to find solutions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
At Bacardi from 2015-2018, Nim led the Global Millennials Consumer Strategy, and at age 30, became the world’s first “Chief Next-Generation Officer” driving the ‘NEXT GEN’ intrapreneurship program for 6500 employees across 20 countries.
The girl who grew up in a treehouse in the remote tropics of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and majored in Photography is equally comfortable in the corporate boardrooms of America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific as she is on the world-stage speaking on Intrapreneurship, Innovation and Intergenerational possibilities. Her opinions have been published by Forbes, Inc, The Huffington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine and The Future Laboratory.
Having lived on 4 continents and visiting more than sixty countries, Nim’s global perspective and multicultural experiences have honed her ability to connect deeply with humans across all generations and embed inclusion in the DNA of modern brands.
