ALEX BUDAK is an award-winning educator at UC Berkeley—with faculty appointments at Berkeley Haas, Berkeley Public Health, and Berkeley Executive Education—who helps people spark change, develop courage, and create impact anywhere. His beloved changemaker courses are consistently among Berkeley's top rated offerings, and have even inspired student tattoos. His book, Becoming a Changemaker, is hailed by CNBC as a “top 5 non-fiction book everyone should be reading about work," and has been published in 13 languages. Budak’s change journey began when he co-founded StartSomeGood, which has helped people in over 50 countries raise millions of dollars to launch and scale new change initiatives. He’s a graduate of UCLA and Georgetown University, a frequent speaker at organizations like Accenture, Lyft, and UNHCR, and once learned the hard way to never go budget skydiving.
