Speaker Series
Jereme Lambert - Global Impact Entrepreneur, CEO of Business Connect
Jereme Lambert's road to entrepreneurship didn't start in a boardroom. It started in a pulpit. After studying pastoral studies and counseling at Moody Bible Institute, he spent several years as a pastor before picking up a hammer as a carpenter, launching his own home repair business, co-owning a fencing company, and eventually serving as general manager of Alger Hardware & Rental in Grand Rapids.
Since 2014, Jereme has served as CEO and co-owner of Business Connect, a social enterprise committed to empowering global citizens with access to essential resources and knowledge to strengthen economic growth opportunities. Their mission is simple: creating hope through business with purpose, products, and people. Through a global network of partners, NGOs, and local distributors, Business Connect gets clean water solutions and other life-giving products to communities around the world.
Jereme brings a rare mix of pastoral heart, hands-on grit, and global vision. He'll share what it looks like to build a company that serves people well, both in your own backyard and around the world.
