I am co-author of Making Money Moral, and a global leader in the field of sustainable and impact investing.

I am a former Managing Director of The Rockefeller Foundation. I led the foundation's efforts to seed-fund the development and launch of new financial instruments and partnerships designed to channel money from the capital markets toward sustainable development.

Before joining The Rockefeller Foundation, I was the Senior Vice President for Strategic Planning at the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). There I led a portfolio of projects focused on transformative opportunities for creating a more equitable and resilient economy. Before joining NYCEDC, I worked at Cisco Systems advising Fortune 500 companies and public sector institutions on how innovative technology could help create new business models and address critical challenges, such as social and economic challenges caused by an aging society. Before that I was an Associate Principal at McKinsey & Company, where I advised multinational companies on corporate strategy.

I have served as an advisor on committees such as the Government of Canada's Privy Council Office Impact Canada Initiative Advisory Committee and the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Infrastructure. My work has been featured in publications such as Harvard Business Review, Foreign Affairs, and The Financial Times.

I hold a Master of Science in Applied Economics and Finance and a Bachelor of Science in International Business from Copenhagen Business School.
