Alain Sylvain was a really incredible die guy who is the founder and CEO of Sylvain, a strategy and design company headquartered here in New York City he also played a key role in the number of organizations including his alma mater Vassar College and kindred and networking organization for DEI and E.S.G. professionals and he also serves on New York City's mayor's creative council. He leaves behind three children and his wife after passing away suddenly at age 47 last week and he had so much to say that I really felt this was a good opportunity to share some of it with you.
And it's almost wrong of me to say that he had so much to say in the past tense because the reality is he still has quite a lot to say that we can learn from about brand purpose and about how companies don't have to choose between doing good and being profitable. So I wanted to bring one of my past conversations with him from this podcast back to you guys in honor of him.
From his family: One way to help honor and build on the community of love that Alain created is to direct donations to Anseye Pou Haiti and the Haitian Education and Leadership Program.
