About Vivian Brady-Phillips
I envision cities where every voice shapes the future, digital fluency unlocks opportunity, and innovation ecosystems spark thriving communities. My work brings people together—residents, municipal leaders, businesses, nonprofits, investors, and philanthropic partners—to design inclusive solutions that drive real change.I’ve led a $500M project to transform a public housing complex into a mixed-use, mixed income neighborhood, launched vertical farms in public housing, expanded digital equity and broadband access, and created youth workforce pipelines. I also chaired a citywide COVID-19 relief fund, mobilizing philanthropic and public resources to support communities in crisis. Today, at the World Economic Forum, I co-lead global coalitions advancing resilience, sustainable development, and inclusive growth.Grounded and principled, I thrive on making hard things happen and ensuring underrepresented voices are heard. My career reflects a commitment to building communities where opportunity is shared and progress is sustainable.
