Our History

In the summer of 2011, friends and business partners Nick Logothetis and Matthew Swift had an idea to convene thought leaders in the midst of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to discuss the role of partnerships in combating extremism. What began as a single conversation has since evolved into a global platform dedicated to fostering cross-sector partnerships that drive market-based solutions to today’s most pressing challenges. Concordia believes that collaboration across industries and sectors is key to creating lasting impact.

The Concordia Leadership Council is a powerful roster of former heads of state, leaders of industry, and policy experts with practical experience at every level of government and business. By offering strategic guidance, expanding the Concordia community, and advising programming, the Leadership Council contributes to all areas of the organization.

Concordia Advisors and Senior Advisors are a select group of experts who share updates on innovations in their fields, provide guidance in developing Concordia’s event agendas, and assist in building a network of key stakeholders across all programming and initiatives. In lending their insight into policy developments and industry updates, Advisors support Concordia’s mission to facilitate cross-sector partnerships for social impact. 

“There is no replacement for the power of in-person connection, and that’s precisely why Concordia exists today,”

NICK LOGOTHETIS, Co-Founder & Chairman of the Board, Concordia

 

“We have speakers and attendees from nations all around the world, representing all walks of life, all areas of interest, and multiple points of view. All are welcome and all are encouraged to share their voices, and they will be heard. Concordia is truly many voices, one community,”

MATT SWIFT, Co-Founder, President & CEO, Concordia
