About you:

I am passionate about the intersection of social impact and business value, and currently oversee the philanthropy program for Liquidnet, the global institutional trading network. In 2007 I helped to launch “Liquidnet For Good,” the corporate social engagement program that leverages Liquidnet’s resources – including financial capital, human capital, creative capital and expertise – to create local and global social impact. Beyond extensive employee engagement programs and a comprehensive partnership with a youth village for orphans in Rwanda, Liquidnet For Good’s “Markets for Good” initiative applies the company’s core competency – using technology to make markets more efficient – to address inefficiencies in the social sector. Liquidnet is collaborating with others to effectively use the tools of philanthropy and impact investing to help unleash more money for good.
