It's hard to live in today's world without seeing the tension between lives of luxury and so many people going without even basic human needs. It provokes questions of what is fair, right, and conscionable–  and the role of business in  creating this problem. It would be naive to assume that this tension could be simply resolved. But what if one could serve the other, so that luxury items provide for the basic needs of others creating a halo effect for the things people want and critical support for those going without. Stacey Boyd is the Founder &amp; CEO of Olivela, an online luxury retail platform with a philanthropic business model that makes giving back part of every transaction. In this episode, she explains how what consumers want for themselves can drive impact at scale for others, and how today's top luxury brands are showing up to answer new stakeholder expectations and drive business success through positive impact.Lead With We is Produced by Goal 17 Media - https://goal17media.comStacey Boyd: Entrepreneur Stacey Boyd founded Olivela, a luxury retailer with doing good built into every transaction in 2019. The idea came to her after a trip with Malala Yousafzai to the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya, where she met girls who were risking their lives for the opportunity to get an education. Upon her return, she met with many of the world’s finest luxury brands and explored the creation of a site harnessing their artistry and craftsmanship and our collective purchasing power to support girls’ education internationally. Over 400 luxury brands are now a part of Olivela. Twenty percent of every purchase made on the site goes toward cause partners that work towards gender equality, climate action, and health &amp; wellness– making sure help is extended to those most at risk across the globe.Boyd earned her MBA and Masters in Public Policy from Harvard and is currently an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Harvard Business School. Boyd has launched a number of successful ventures including the Academy of Pacific Rim, Project Achieve and Schoola, an online retailer that sells gently-worn clothing to support schools in need. She serves on the National Council on Teacher Quality, advises PBS on educational programming, and was named one of World Economic Forum’s 100 Global Leaders of Tomorrow.

Fashioning a Better Future: Stacey Boyd, Founder & CEO of Olivela

When founder and CEO Stacey Boyd set out to create her company, Olivela, she wanted to establish a luxury shopping platform with a philanthropic mission baked into the core business model. The 5-year-old company donates 20% of net proceeds from every purchase to the consumer's charity of choice from Olivela's list of partners, at no cost to the consumer or brand partners. “There are three pillars we work in,” Boyd said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. Olivela focuses on women’s empowerment, climate action and health and wellness. “The name is ‘Olive’ for olive trees, a symbol of growth and wisdom, and ‘vela,’ which is Latin for the sails of the ship, with the idea that we help set people forward on the best path in life.”“Purpose matters to [our customers],” said Boyd. “As we think about developing and creating the Olivela website, no one is going to buy something simply because it does good. Our customer is going to buy a bag because she loves the bag. She’s going to choose to buy it from Olivela versus somewhere else because of the good that it does and because she has a choice as a consumer."
