Anna Muoio is a social impact leader and system change strategist. As Founder of The Theory of We, she continues her work helping groups build shared strategies, coordinate action and shift systems, aligned behind a shared vision for what’s possible and a smart plan for moving towards it. In 2020, Anna launched and is now Co-Lead of the New Capitalism Project (NCP), a system change effort to reimagine capitalism by shifting the norms, behaviors, rules and practices of business and financial sector leaders. NCP’s Economic System Change Lab now serves as a space for supporting leaders in incubating and implementing systemic interventions as members of a powerful change collaborative.

For eight years, Anna led the Aligned Action practice at Monitor Institute by Deloitte where she pioneered large-scale collective problem-solving methods which integrate network theory, systems change and collective strategy. Anna’s work draws on a range of professional experiences—from being a Senior Writer (and 14th member of the startup team) at Fast Company Magazine, and launching the Social Innovation practice at Continuum, a global design and innovation firm. Her first job out of school was as filmmaker Jonathan Demme’s story editor where she learned the alchemical art of storytelling.

Anna speaks regularly at conferences on the power of aligned action and innovation to drive social change. She has been a guest lecturer at Yale School of Management, Harvard Kennedy School, and Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her writing has appeared in the Stanford Social Innovation Review and Chronicle of Philanthropy. She is the author of several field-shaping pieces such as GATHER: The Art and Science of Effective Convening; ENGAGE: How Funders Can Support and Leverage Networks for Social Impact; PARTICIPATE: The Power of Involving Business in Social Impact Networks; and Shifting a System: the Reimagine Learning network and how to tackle persistent problems. Her most recent pieces focus on “Rethinking How to Finance System Health” and “Financing System Health: The Pando Fund”.
