Karen Halligan named chair of UnLtd board

A six-year veteran of the UnLtd Board, Halligan will lead the organisation into its next phase, dubbed "UnLtd 2.0," focusing on a more cause-centric approach to amplify industry collaboration for meaningful societal change.

"I’m honoured to step into this role at such a transformative time," Halligan said. "UnLtd 2.0 will harness the collective power of our industry to create a brighter, more equitable future for the next generation."

Halligan also acknowledged the unwavering support of the media, marketing, tech, and creative sectors, saying their passion fuels UnLtd’s mission to drive greater impact.

Outgoing co-chairs Adam Furness and Rebecca Darley will depart after more than 30 years of combined service, having helped generate over $380 million in social impact value.

UnLtd founder Kerry McCabe praised their contributions: "Adam and Rebecca’s dedication has been pivotal to UnLtd’s success. Their leadership embodies the very spirit of what we stand for - hope and belief for young people in need."
