Seth Fleisher

For the past nine years, Seth was CEO of Emerging360, an international development consultancy working on solutions to promote women’s entrepreneurship, SME development, and inclusive value chain initiatives in emerging markets. Previously, he was lead strategy and product advisor to IFC and the World Bank where he designed and launched a range of products to deliver access to information, skills, markets, and finance for 30 million entrepreneurs and small businesses in 40+ developing countries and 18 languages. He has led product and content teams for multiple Silicon Valley startups with an impact focus: for example, via digital platforms facilitating cross-border trade between SME suppliers in emerging markets and corporate buyers in North America and Europe.

He is also Co-Founder of Walk the Walk USA, a network of 7,000 progressive donors in 50 states mobilizing capital to power strategic civic engagement and democracy initiatives in historically disenfranchised communities.

Seth did Ph.D. work at Harvard, a Fulbright in Sri Lanka, and a B.A. at Swarthmore College. He’s based in Berkeley, California and is excited to be developing new avenues for extending CSP’s reach and deepening community engagement in the Americas, and ultimately growing CSP’s impact globally.
