When John O’Brien MBE founded Anthropy, he was responding to something specific. Brexit had exposed a fracture in Britain’s leadership class that many people could sense, but few were addressing directly. The pandemic deepened it. Here were the people who were supposed to be steering the country through its most complex challenges, yet they had almost no meaningful contact with one another. Not because they lacked good intentions, but because the structures of modern professional life make genuine cross-sector connections genuinely difficult.
