ABOUT US

We are Meteorite, the team behind the coalitions creating a better future. We build coalitions that tackle society’s biggest challenges and power their progress to advance well-being for all. 

The largest of our efforts to date is the Health Action Alliance, a large private-sector coalition committed to improving the health and wellness of workers and communities across the United States. We also collaborate with influential NGOs, Fortune 500 companies, and visionary philanthropists to assist them in establishing and expanding coalitions to impact a wide range of issues, including workplace mental health, women’s health, HIV prevention and awareness, and workforce safety in the face of climate disasters.

We are a dynamic, rapidly growing organization comprising a diverse and dedicated group of self-starters with decades of experience in business, nonprofits, and government. At the heart of our work is impact; we aim to inspire positive change and achievement in the people and communities we serve.

Join us and let’s make an impact, together.

THE ROLE
