Ben Rattray is a graduate of Stanford University and the London School of Economics. Initially, he planned a career in investment banking, but a transformative moment changed his path: when his younger brother came out as gay, Rattray realized the harm of being a passive bystander. He was moved by his brother’s words, which highlighted that the greatest pain came not from explicit prejudice, but from those who stood by silently. This experience inspired Rattray to never remain silent again, leading him to create Change.org to empower individuals to take action on issues that matter. Since founding the platform in 2007, Rattray has dedicated his career to building a tool that democratizes social change, giving people around the world a powerful voice.
