Interests:
My Interest in the social and environmental capital markets come from the fact that I am extremely concerned that something needs to be done to solve some of the environmental and social injustices and challenges that are present in our world. I strongly believe that capital markets mechanism’s can be extremely instrumental in more efficiently delivering the needed capital that is desperately needed in order to improve our world.
