We’re delighted to host Emmy-nominated impact producer Simone Pero, founder of For Impact Productions, for a powerful conversation for artists who aim for their projects to be creatively bold, financially sustainable, and socially meaningful. Simone will introduce her signature Impact³ framework — aligning Artistic excellence, Commercial sustainability, and Social impact. Simone’s core belief is that artists are the first responders of social change, helping us imagine new futures long before systems catch up. Through her framework and approaches, Simone equips artists with the strategies and mindset to become empowered change-maker leaders.

Emmy-nominated film producer, Simone Pero is the Founder and President of For Impact Productions, a sought-after social impact consultancy for creatives of all mediums. Pero’s film portfolio includes the narrative films LILLY starring Patricia Clarkson, THE TALE starring Laura Dern, and documentaries VIVA VERDI!, Academy Award®–nominee in 2026 for Best Original Song, the Humanitas Prize Winner docu-series VOW OF SILENCE: THE ASSASSINATION OF ANNIE MAE, and the award-winning THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING featuring Geena Davis, Meryl Streep and Shonda Rhimes.
