What they say
StubHub — Heather James
Global Social Impact Lead

Integrating StubHub and viagogo provided a natural opportunity to reset and develop a thoughtful, effective, global impact strategy spanning across the two brands. The Charter Oak team helped us to establish a cohesive strategy that drives measurable social change and simultaneously supports across multiple business functions. I have great respect and appreciation for what Will and the team do.
