Marc Freedman
Founder & Co-CEO of Co-Generate; Thought Leader on Longevity & a Multigenerational Future
Marc Freedman, founder and co-CEO of CoGenerate and co-director of the Yale Experienced Leaders Initiative (Yale ELI Fellows) at the Yale School of Management, is one of the nation’s leading experts on our increasingly multigenerational future.
Freedman is a frequent commentator in the media and the author of five books. The Wall Street Journal described his latest, "How to Live Forever: The Enduring Power of Connecting the Generations," one of the year’s best books on aging well.
As the originator of the encore career idea linking second acts to the greater good, Freedman co-founded Experience Corps to mobilize people over the age of 50 to improve the school performance and prospects of low-income elementary school students in 22 U.S. cities. He also spearheaded the creation of the Encore Fellowships program, a one-year fellowship helping individuals translate their midlife skills into second acts focused on social impact, and the Purpose Prize, an annual $100,000 prize for social entrepreneurs in the second half of life. (AARP now runs both Experience Corps and the Purpose Prize.)
Freedman has been honored with numerous awards and fellowships, including Social Entrepreneur of the Year from the World Economic Forum/Schwab Foundation and the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship. A graduate of Swarthmore College, he holds an MBA from the Yale School of Management.
