Oliver B. Libby

Oliver B. Libby, the co-founding Managing Partner of Hatzimemos / Libby Holdings (H/L Ventures) and CityRock Venture Partners, has made significant strides in building sustainable and socially conscious businesses. H/L Ventures, under Libby's stewardship, operates with a unique Daily Active Engagement model that merges elements of a venture studio and an investment firm. This model, combined with a preference for diverse founding teams, has been instrumental in fostering high-growth businesses that are also socially and environmentally responsible.

Libby's commitment to social entrepreneurship extends to his role as the chair of The Resolution Project, Inc., which he co-founded in 2007. The Resolution Project's recent acquisition of Enactus, a global entrepreneurship organization, further underscores this commitment. The organization provides mentorship and grants through its Social Venture Challenges, helping undergraduate students launch new social ventures. Impacting nearly 100 countries, Resolution Fellows have already benefited around 6 million people worldwide.

As an author, Libby penned "Strong Floor, No Ceiling," a book that explores the rejuvenation of the American Dream. This, coupled with his role as a Presidential Leadership Scholar and member of several boards and councils, including Tech:NYC, Concordia Summit Advisor, and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network Youth Advisory Council, has secured his position as a thought leader. His insights have been showcased at notable venues such as Harvard and the United Nations, while his work has been featured in prominent publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times. Furthermore, Libby has made appearances on television networks, such as CNBC, further amplifying his voice in the public sphere.
