Alison Lingane, Project Equity
Alison Lingane is a serial social entrepreneur who has dedicated her career to leveraging business as a force for good. She began her career designing and leading micro-enterprise programs for urban youth. Then, inspired to widen her impact, Alison pursued an MBA and co-founded the Global Social Venture Competition, which for three decades was the largest international business plan competition for double or triple bottom line businesses.
Prior to launching Project Equity, Alison held executive roles at mission-driven businesses that are designed to have human impact at scale, including Benetech (where she built and launched their first product, a digital book service for individuals with visual or reading disabilities), GreatSchools (the 6th largest parenting website, a nonprofit using information to drive school improvement), and InsideTrack (a venture-backed scaled services company that has delivered 1:1 coaching to millions of college students, resulting in increased college completion rates). She brings those scaling lessons back full circle to her work at Project Equity, turning businesses into community change agents through employee ownership.
Her passion for education also led her to co-found a thriving PreK-8th grade dual immersion school in Oakland, Escuela Bilingüe Internacional, that serves over 350 students. Alison has been recognized by fellowship invitations from Echoing Green, The Aspen Institute, Rutgers University and Ashoka, where Project Equity’s work was featured in the book America’s Path Forward. In 2022, Alison and Hilary received the Heinz Award for the Economy, established to honor the memory of U.S. Senator John Heinz and to celebrate the vision and spirit that produce achievements of lasting good. Alison holds a B.S. from Harvard University and an M.B.A. from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. In her free time, she can be found running trails in the East Bay Hills, hiking in the mountains and spending quality time with friends and family.
Alison’s next chapter is focused on expanding investment capital to support the entire employee ownership field.
