McLean’s Story

For McLean Mashingaidze-Greaves the boundless possibilities of new media were impossible to resist. So he abandoned his lucrative career in television to realize his ideas for the post-television generation. With vision and talent he created a company specializing in online video solutions, a company that could be innovative and agile in responding to the opportunities of the day: The Nimble Company.

Conferences

Renewal works to build, activate and leverage progressive networks. One of the ways in which we do this through is conferences and events that bring together progressive investors, philanthropists, activists, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who influence societal issues.
