Georgi Enthoven is an international thought leader, trusted advisor, and the visionary founder of Work That’s Worth It. But she didn’t start her career knowing what would come to define her.
Like many, Georgi spent the first half of her career taking the scenic route.
After attending the University of California, Berkeley, and Harvard Business School, she found herself misaligned in jobs that either met her needs for income and ambition or matched her desire to add positive value to the world. She struggled to find roles where she could combine the two.

Today, she’s a passionate advocate for young professionals seeking to combine contribution with compensation. With nearly three decades of professional experience in various industries, Georgi’s on a mission to help individuals like you turn their career into work that’s worth it, finding a career and calling that is good both for them and for the world…
