Biography
Oscar Perry Abello is a journalist focusing on people, policies, and programs that intend to drive progress towards a more just and equitable world. Specific topics covered include social enterprise, microfinance, impact investing, financial regulation, tax policy, entrepreneurship and small business, fair trade, social franchising, branding for small nonprofits, and philanthropy. Oscar's coverage is informed by his prior work as an online media specialist in global development, where he worked with some of the largest and most respected nonprofit organizations in the world (BRAC, Population Services International) as well as smaller organizations with a more niche, expert audience (Center for International Private Enterprise, Results for Development, UN Dispatch, DAWNS Digest). Oscar is an alumnus of Villanova University, where he received a B.A. in Economics, with a minor in Peace and Justice Studies. Upon graduation, he was an inaugural co-recipient of the Solidarity Award, given by Villanova University's Center for Peace and Justice Education, "to a graduating senior or seniors in exceptional circumstances to recognize distinctive service to the cause of justice and peace."
