Q&A
I am an avid reader, diving into anything that grabs my interest from historical novels, to fantasy to psychology. When not diving into a book at home I love to take on brush and paint to bring my creativity onto the canvas. Lastly, in the colder months I tend to challenge the Spanish mountain ranges with my skis.
My trip of a lifetime would be to visit Bhutan, a country in the Himalayas, and first-carbon negative country in the world. National parks stretching from one end of the country to the other offering vast diversity of flora as well as fauna including reserves for endangered species like tigers.
Focusing on social impact and particularly within the fintech sector, is very important to enable greater financial inclusion, helping underserved communities access essential banking services, credit, and financial education. By leveraging technology, fintech can reduce inequality, empower small businesses, and drive sustainable economic growth, ultimately creating a fairer and more resilient society.
A perfect investment from an ESG and impact perspective, would be one that delivers strong financial returns while driving measurable positive social impact, through for example increasing financial inclusion. It is essentially an investment that aligns profit with purpose, proving that financial success can go hand in hand with long-term positive social impact.
