Philanthropist
From my childhood, I was raised to take initiative and work to make the world a better and more interconnected place. That ethos led me to the launch of what would become the world’s largest language solutions company. I could see there was a gap in need of filling; as the internet reduced the size of the globe, more businesses would need outside help in bridging cultural divides.
Bridging divides is my single biggest passion in life.
When I first launched the Elizabeth Elting Foundation in 2018, our mission was a simple one: to help women take control of their own lives by bridging the divide between what their opportunities had given them and what they wanted to achieve. From entrepreneurial support and education in support of institutions including NYU, Columbia Business School, and Trinity College, to working with the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign to raise awareness about issues surrounding women’s cardiac health, the Elizabeth Elting Foundation has always been committed to helping people overcome gaps.
Here are some great conversations to get you started!
