Executive Strategist. Systems Builder. Institution Builder.

Greg Weatherford II is an executive, entrepreneur, and institution builder whose career has centered on turning ambitious ideas into strategies, partnerships, organizations, and platforms capable of operating at scale.

Greg currently serves as Managing Director of The Allstate Foundation and Social Impact, where he leads strategy across a major corporate social impact portfolio. His responsibilities include investment strategy, research, institutional partnerships, and enterprise initiatives. His broader career has included launching nonprofit organizations and entrepreneurial ventures, building youth and education platforms, creating media properties, designing national initiatives, developing cross-sector partnerships, and directing more than $100 million in strategic investments.

Greg began his career at age 12, when he launched his first nonprofit organization. He later built ventures serving young people and communities, developed platforms across education, workforce development, sports, media, and philanthropy, and established a record of translating ambitious ideas into practical strategies and scalable operating models.

Although the scope of his work has continued to expand, its central premise has remained consistent: consequential ideas require disciplined strategy, capable leadership, aligned capital, trusted relationships, and institutions designed to endure.

In recognition of his lifelong commitment to service, TIME named Greg one of the 100 most influential philanthropists in the world.

He is also the author of The Intentional Navigator, a practical guide to leadership, decision-making, and navigating complexity with greater clarity and intention.
