Quote
What drives my work is a great sense of optimism and the chance to work towards a global impact economy with many like-minded people in organisations ranging from socially responsible businesses to investors and governments. The impact economy focuses on solving societal challenges and creating much more than financial value. It's an economy that has inclusion at its core and helps create equal opportunities for all, which I find really energising.
