Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
The Aspen Institute First Movers Fellowship Program is the leading global network and professional development program for corporate social intrapreneurs.
First Movers are accomplished innovators inside companies who are creating new products, services and management practices that increase business value and make the world a better place.
Since 2009, the Fellowship Program has strengthened the capacity of social intrapreneurs to lead change within their company and industry, which collectively, over time, will redefine how business is done and how success is measured.
Announcing the 2025 Class of First Mover Fellows
The 17th class of First Mover Fellows represent a diverse range of companies, from Nike, Pfizer, Meta, The New York Times, and more!
The Design Team includes experts from business, leadership development, and academia. They design and facilitate the seminars—and guide the overall Fellowship experience.
The First Movers Fellowship Program fits squarely within the Aspen Institute’s mission: to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues.
