He has built teams of over 1000 full time staff and managed operations around the world, creating positive impacts for millions while empowering people to make the world a better place.
His remarkable journey started in 1995 at 12 years of age. Craig discovered the story of a boy his own age who was murdered after escaping child labor, which inspired Craig to create his first charitable organization “Free The Children”. As a teenage guest on the Oprah Winfrey show, Craig received a spontaneous pledge from Oprah to help build 100 schools. The gift was accompanied by millions in scale-up funding and the extraordinary opportunity to learn from Oprah’s mentorship.
