During the global pandemic period of 2020-2022, a growing list of Fortune 500 CEOs and leaders referred to John Hope Bryant as a necessary ‘conscious on capitalism.’ Bryant firmly believes that a for-profit business enterprise can do well, and do good, too. That issues such as participatory stakeholder capitalism amongst line employee groups, or a corporate commitment to diversity and inclusion, are not ‘moral issues’ to be argued, nor nagging costs on the balance sheet burdening a company, but essential investments in future shareholder value, and untapped business assets to be embraced. Bryant believes that truths and profitability can simultaneously be held to light. He believes that you can achieve ‘social justice through an economic lens,’ and profitability and responsible wealth creation in the same breath.

Over the past 30+ years, Bryant has built more than 40 companies, organizations and brands, many of which today represent the sole leadership in their area or sector. Two of these organizations are the largest and most successful in their space; namely Operation HOPE, the nation’s largest nonprofit financial literacy, financial inclusion and economic empowerment organization, and The Promise Homes Company, the nation’s largest minority controlled owner of single family rental homes.

John Hope Bryant Holdings, LLC (JHBH) is the global umbrella holding company for all the business, thought leadership, advisory and philanthropic undertakings of American entrepreneur John Hope Bryant. JHBH and John Hope Bryant are committed to maximizing untapped human capital at scale, and building business and community enterprises that are in equal part committed to ‘doing well, and to doing good, too.-
