CNN — Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN) -- Charmian Gooch, the anti-corruption crusader who co-founded Global Witness, called Tuesday night for action to lift the veil on who owns corporations around the world.

Her call to expose criminals and corrupt officials came at the end of the first full day of TED's 30th anniversary conference.
