Dr Lebohang Liepollo Pheko Appointed as Co-Chair of WEAll

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Lebohang Liepollo Pheko as Co-Chair of WEAll with myself as of October 1^st, 2025.

As WEAll transitions from a largely minority world focused organisation to a true global organisation, we have recognised that having two Co-Chairs, rather than a single Chair, is the appropriate governance structure. This new model reflects our commitment to shared leadership and to ensuring diverse voices are at the heart of our movement.

Liepollo brings a wealth of  relevant lived and practitioner  experience to WEAll. Born in Zambia to activist parents, she has roots in Lesotho , South Africa and spent 16 years in the United Kingdom where she lived through Thatcherite austerity.  She is a world-renowned feminist  economist and scholar of international political economics , activist, and international movement builder and has worked across 52 countries to date.  She is passionate about using systems thinking , and Africa-centred and feminist aligned solutions to generate global impact.  As a long-standing ambassador for WEAll, she has been a powerful advocate who believes that a transition to a wellbeing economy is central  for restorative and reparative justice.

The team and I feel very honoured that Liepollo is joining me as WEAll Co-Chair.

Stewart Wallis, Co-Chair and Co-Founder of Wellbeing Economy Alliance
