About
Charmian Gooch is the co-founder of Global Witness, a non-profit organization that investigates and exposes how a global architecture of corruption is woven into the extraction and exploitation of natural resources. 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. Her keynotes pull back the curtain on these illicit financial flows, offering audiences a deeper understanding of how to combat corruption and promote transparency in resource-rich countries.

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.
