The President of the Truist Foundation, Lynette Bell, joins Alberto Lidji to discuss strengthening small businesses, developing career pathways for economic mobility, and why philanthropy is fueling the marketplace of ideas.

Find out how the Truist Foundation is co-creating programs, building the body of evidence, and how they are convening national non-profits in the US and also bringing the public sector and the corporate space into the field to drive forward positive systemic change.

The Trusit Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Truist Financial Corporation –  the 6^th largest bank in the USA and a purpose-driven financial institution committed to ensuring communities have an equal opportunity to thrive.

Lynette has been at Truist for her entire career, spanning more than 30 years. Working at the foundation has been the most fun she’s had during this time, and it’s given her an opportunity to co-create ideas and solutions and to use data to help drive and influence the strategy moving forward.
