In 2010, Craig founded Giving Africa, a charity dedicated to providing high-quality education and sustainable livelihoods in one of the poorest regions of the world, Burkina Faso. The organisation built Bethel Secondary School, which now supports over 800 students, offering life-changing opportunities for young people and their communities. This work reflects Craig’s belief that leadership is not just about influence or ambition, but about contribution and service to others. His humanitarian efforts have become an integral part of his message, demonstrating how purpose-driven leadership can transform both individuals and entire communities.

A seasoned adventurer and storyteller, Craig draws inspiration from his experiences travelling the world, climbing Kilimanjaro, skydiving and trekking through the Amazon rainforest. These journeys, and his encounters with diverse cultures, continue to shape his philosophy on life and leadership. Whether addressing global corporations or community leaders, Craig’s message is clear and powerful: true success comes from living with intention, breaking through fear and embracing the purpose that makes each of us unique.
