Welcome to the community, Kate McAlpine

This June, we’re thrilled to welcome Kate McAlpine of ConnectGo as our Featured Member.

Kate is someone who’s never been afraid to challenge the status quo. Growing up determined to push beyond gender-based expectations, she has spent her life championing people, ideas, and systems that make real, lasting impact.

Over the past 30 years, Kate’s career has taken her across East Africa and the UK, working in violence prevention, youth empowerment, and social impact measurement. “I know firsthand what it means to feel unheard—and that’s why I’ve dedicated my life to ensuring that young people, communities, and overlooked voices have a seat at the table.”

Now, through ConnectGo, Kate is leading the development of Value Scope - a human-centred data intelligence platform that’s redefining how we measure social impact. As Kate puts it:

“When we can’t measure what matters, the people who matter get left behind.”

Value Scope helps funders, governments, and ESG investors make decisions based on real, meaningful outcomes, not just check-box data. It’s about turning social value into an asset and ensuring that impact isn’t just reported—it’s lived.“I bridge knowledge and action to enable people to thrive, combining strategic insight, deep listening, and unwavering commitment to turn complex challenges into meaningful change.”

We’re so excited to have Kate in the Breakthrough Labs community and can’t wait to see how her work continues to break down barriers.
