About me
Christian Baum has spent nearly two decades advancing a simple but powerful idea: that business can be intentionally designed to serve people, communities, and purpose alongside profit. As a serial social entrepreneur and cofounder of Giv Local, he has dedicated much of his career to building models that embed community benefit into everyday commerce. Giv Local brings that vision to life by helping businesses generate recurring, sustainable support for local nonprofits through payment processing. Christian is also an owner of Pinewood Pro, a leader in pinewood derby products and STEM toys, and runs a design consultancy focused on helping organizations shape strong brands and meaningful ventures. Across each of these efforts, his work is grounded in stakeholder impact, local resilience, and the belief that entrepreneurship can be a force for long-term community good.
