“My whole career’s been about impact and exploring the ways we can make the biggest difference in the world.
I’ve worked with charities, impact investors and impact-focused businesses. And I’m convinced businesses have a vital role to play in tackling the global social and environmental challenges we face. Business is financially sustainable, highly scalable and can work across international boundaries – there’s huge power in that!
