“The One Club for Creativity does more to help expand and diversify the global creative class than any organization of its kind.” said Cole. “Under Susan’s guidance, the impact was incredible. Pum and I, along with our world-class Board, plan to build on that progress by creating even more opportunities and on-ramps, blowing up more barriers and boxes, and dialing up creative inspiration like never before.”

“I see a huge opportunity to broaden the inclusion of more forms of creativity.” said Lefebure. “Obviously, I want to bring design forward, but I also want to include more creative disciplines like UX and UI, typography, product creation, game design, music, fashion, and new kinds of arts, as well as celebrate brands that are driven by creativity.”

“One reason The One Club is so prestigious is because of its exceptional Board of Directors, an impressive group of the most prominent professionals in our field,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club.  “Glenn and Pum will play a key role in leading the Board, furthering our mission, and expanding our programming in ways that make a real difference around the world.”
