As the 2014 TED Prize winner, Gooch has used her platform to shine a light on the shadowy networks that enable the plunder of the world's natural wealth.

My wish: To launch a new era of openness in business
Anonymous companies protect corrupt individuals - from notorious drug cartel leaders to nefarious arms dealers - behind a shroud of mystery that makes it almost impossible to find and hold them responsible. But anti-corruption activist Charmian Gooch hopes to change all that. At TED2014, she shares her brave TED Prize wish: to know who owns and controls companies, to change the law, and to launch a new era of openness in business.
