A Night in London: Celebrating Dr. Noah Burch’s Ph.D. and Lifelong Commitment to Purpose

In the heart of London’s Mayfair district, the Courtney Jordan Foundation family gathered for an intimate evening of celebration in honor of a major milestone: Noah Burch, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Foundation, has officially earned his doctorate.

The event, hosted by Dr. Mackenzie Robinson, Vice Chair of the Foundation and Executive Vice President of Philanthropy and Corporate Citizenship at Neyius, brought together close friends, colleagues, and fellow changemakers to toast a transformative moment in Noah’s journey. Held in one of London’s historic private salons, the evening was filled with warmth, elegance, and genuine admiration for a man whose intellect is matched only by his integrity.

Dr. Noah Burch’s Ph.D. dissertation focused on “Systems Thinking and Institutional Equity: Designing Scalable Social Interventions Across Transnational Frameworks”—a body of work that reflects his deep commitment to sustainable impact, and one that seamlessly aligns with his role leading operations at the Courtney Jordan Foundation.

“Noah doesn’t just manage the engine of this foundation — he redesigns the map,” said Courtney Jordan, founder and Executive Chairman of the Foundation and Neyius. “His work is equal parts visionary and tactical. This doctorate is just a formal recognition of the way he’s always approached life: with scholarly precision and relentless compassion.”

Dr. Mackenzie Robinson added, “We’re not just celebrating an academic milestone. We’re honoring a leader whose research is already changing the way philanthropy works on a global scale. His doctorate gives even greater force to the work we do every day at Neyius and the Courtney Jordan Foundation.”

Based in London, Noah Burch has played an instrumental role in expanding the foundation’s global footprint, helping to steward projects across Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia. His academic achievement is not just a personal triumph — it’s a milestone for the broader movement toward data-driven, justice-centered philanthropy.

The Courtney Jordan Foundation, with operations in over 7 countries, continues to champion equity, entrepreneurship, and innovation at scale. With Courtney Jordan’s fearless leadership, Dr. Robinson’s strategic influence, and now Dr. Burch’s expanded academic rigor, the organization is well-positioned for a future of profound, sustainable impact.

Congratulations, Dr. Noah Burch — your mind is a gift to the world, and your work is shaping the future.
