Purpose-Driven Innovation – AARP Foundation President Claire Casey

"I don't define innovation as limited to technology. It is, for me problem solving. And because we're a direct service organization, I don't think we called it innovation, but there is actually, in fact, an incredible culture of innovation because people walk in the door and they have needs and they have aspirations, and you're, on a daily basis having to think about how you problem solve for those people."

– Claire Casey, President, AARP Foundation

This week's VentureFuel Visionary is Claire Casey, President of AARP Foundation, the charitable affiliate of AARP focused on a future without senior poverty.

Claire shares the Foundation’s approach to innovation: leveraging empathy and experimentation to understand people's needs and find new, scalable solutions to complex issues during this year's Rogue Women VI: Authenticity to Fuel Growth, our annual women in innovation event held in New York City on March 9, 2023, in partnership with the Rogue Women's Fund.
