Jonathan Robinson

Jonathan Robinson is an anthropologist, writer and entrepreneur. He is a founder and director of The Hub, the place for people with world-changing ideas. The Hub has borrowed from the best of a members club, a business incubator, an innovation agency and a think-tank to create a very different kind of institution. Hubs can be found all over the world, in places as diverse as London, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, Soweto and Mumbai.
Jonathan has written the book ‘careers un-ltd’ published by the penguin group, designed interventions for the Barcelona 2004 Cultural Festival, taken on the Royal Festival Hall to host a weekend millennium festival of music and debate, helped Leeds City Council raise £15 million to start community hubs, joined an aid mission to Bosnia during the war, made a budget-film in West Africa, interviewed the Dalai Lama for Amnesty International and worked to create knowledge flows between UNICEF’s network of practitioners in the world’s conflict zones. Jonathan thrives on collaborators with a multi-disciplinary team of architects, scientists, investors, filmmakers, technologists and activists.
