Dan Overall is Executive Director of the Trico Charitable Foundation, which seeks to leverage social entrepreneurship to reimagine how we can use the power of business models to close gaps in society. Trico does this in three ways: providing training, providing funding, and building the social enterprise ecosystem.
Dan’s highlights as E.D. include overseeing Canada’s hosting of the Social Enterprise World Forum in 2013; organizing the first official “social entrepreneurship day” in Calgary in 2016; overseeing the funding of key social enterprise infrastructure projects like the Changemakers Studio at Mount Royal University and the Social Entrepreneurship Centre at the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary; and publishing numerous case studies and blogs on social entrepreneurship.
