a passion for lasting change…

Corinne Gray is the kind of person who reads about climate tech, refugee inclusion, and bush medicine in the same sitting—and thinks, yes, these are obviously connected.

Her work has always lived at the intersection of innovation and humanity: how we build, who we build for, and what it takes to make progress feel both ambitious and deeply personal.

Today, Corinne is a Vice President at Unreasonable Group, where she supports entrepreneurs building game-changing solutions to the world’s biggest people-and-planet challenges. She’s also the co-founder of Uncomfortable Revolution, a digital media platform on a mission to change the way we talk about disability and chronic illness—and to advocate for lives and bodies too often treated as an afterthought. Corinne cares about impact, yes, but she’s equally obsessed with inclusion: not “inviting people in” after the fact, but designing the room differently from the start.

Before Unreasonable, Corinne worked with the UN Refugee Agency’s innovation efforts, helping staff, partners, and displaced communities apply open innovation and design thinking to humanitarian challenges. She later served as a Financial Technology Specialist, exploring emerging tools like blockchain to expand financial access and economic participation for displaced people—because dignity is also practical.

Her passion for local entrepreneurship was shaped in Southern Africa, where she traveled across townships and communities supporting asylum seekers with micro-entrepreneurship training and mentorship in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Earlier in her career, she worked in the private sector as a marketing executive, partnering with product and innovation teams to translate real human needs into experiences people actually want to use—and keep using.

Corinne is a Fulbright Scholar with a Master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College, and she completed her MBA at MIT Sloan as an Innovation & Global Leadership Fellow.

And then there’s the thread that ties everything together: wellness, culture, and home. Corinne is a wellness junkie (the research-y kind), building a vision of nourishment rooted in the Caribbean—indigenous plants, bush teas, healing foods, and ancestral practices—translated into modern, accessible rituals for diaspora communities. Her goal is to make wellness feel culturally resonant, emotionally doable, and deeply rooted.

Her first love is music. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Music from the University of the West Indies, performed professionally in India, China, and Israel, and has taught music and art to young people in her native Trinidad and Tobago. She’s lived in 10 countries, traveled to 50, paints when she can, serves on the board of a refugee-led nonprofit in Uganda, and is quietly plotting the foundation or impact fund she plans to run “when she grows up.”

For now, she’s doing what she does best: backing builders, championing the overlooked, and translating big, messy problems into work that moves.
