The story of Alexandra Pastollnigg sounds like a movie plot. An established banking and wealth management professional, she went on holiday to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and write a book. This trip marked the beginning of her journey to social entrepreneurship.
Topics we discuss:
- Abandoning an ambition to build a unicorn, re-connecting with personal mission and pivoting to make a real impact.
- 'I am the biggest problem': Self-discovery as a necessity for founder’s growth (and sanity).
- Time off and the myth 'the more we do, the bigger the output'.
- Challenges of assessing impact in social entrepreneurship and value-based measurement.
