With a decade of experience in the social investment space, as part of her long journey at EVPA, the impact finance network in Europe, Alessia contributes to build the impact investing market, by supporting impact investors and all impact stakeholders in connecting, exchanging, learning from each other, and providing them with research and data insights and capacity building opportunities. Alessia aims at accelerating impact by focusing on building partnerships with other networks and relevant actors in the field, sharing learning and good practices, breaking silos, and facilitating the creation and the exchange of knowledge.

Alessia also cooperates with EVPA’s sister organisations in Latin America, Asia and Africa to strengthen the collaboration among actors active in the global impact ecosystem, contributing to scale successes across regions.

Alessia co-authored publications, practical cases, and articles on topics such as venture philanthropy, impact measurement and management, impact strategies, the European impact ecosystem, tailored and hybrid finance. Thanks to her research, she prominently contributed to the EVPA narrative around investing for impact and to the debate on the different nuances of impact investing. She is invited to speak at international conferences and give guest lectures at European Universities and Business Schools.

In the last year, she has also started supporting impact investors and enterprises through a hands-on approach. Her brand-new project, IMPACTips, accompanies organisations through an impact measurement and management journey to set clear objectives, define a robust Theory of Change and identify insightful indicators

I would love all impact enterprises have the necessary funding and capacities to implement and scale up their solutions to the pressing social and environmental challenges the world is nowadays facing. Thanks to my tireless commitment, I would like to make the case for impact investors to raise the funding they look for to adequately meets the needs of the enterprises they commit to support. I would like to push foundations going beyond their grant-making activities and starting to devote great portions of their endowments to impact investing. I would like to influence policy makers to produce favourable regulations that can accelerate the transition to a greener and fairer society, where impact investing is the norm and not a niche. I would like to contribute to the companies’ shift to act with a logic of stakeholders’ rather than shareholders’ accountability, forcing them to report on their negative impacts as well. And I would like to implement systems to measure, manage and assure the impact created in the ecosystem, to ensure everyone is accountable for its own activities and contributions, to make the world a better place for our generation and the future ones.
