Make A Difference began with co-founder Mark Pigou’s personal challenge with mental health. His experience inspired him to raise awareness and change the attitude towards mental health in the workplace. 

With co-founder Simon Berger and partner & global content director, Claire Farrow, they leveraged their networks to bring together diverse perspectives from influential leaders in established industries to the bold disruptors setting a benchmark for a new corporate culture. 

From its inception in London, MAD World Summit has grown its reach from Europe to North America and Asia.
