This week we take a different approach and interview Lara Galinsky, SVP of Echoing Green.
Founded 30 years ago by a private equity company, Echoing Green is now a charity that funds social entrepreneurs from all around the world to develop ideas that have positive impact. So far they have funded over 600 social entrepreneurs in 60 countries with $36million.
In this wide ranging and upbeat conversation we cover what the organisation looks for in the future leaders they invest in, some of the companies they have funded in the past and the other programmes they offer; including social investing and matching leaders in corporates with board positions in start up social enterprises.
