Fmr. Chief Economist, World Bank
Your illuminem platform sounds tremendous. Congratulations on taking the initiative. This kind of positive and thoughtful action can make a huge difference.
David Blackmon
Senior Contributor, Forbes
Thanks to the folks at illuminem. Few in the media want to ask hard questions about this energy transition. Even fewer media outlets would promote a piece that does so. That’s integrity.
Georg Kell
Founder of the United Nations Global Compact
I am quite impressed. The quality of your work is excellent. I am happy to support you.
Elizabeth Lewis
Deputy Head of ESG, Blackstone
At Blackstone we are very impressed by what you’ve built at illuminem.
