How did your background prepare you for a role at Apis?
For a number of years, I have been passionate about the positive role businesses can play on building stronger and more sustainable societies across the world. This idea led me to study Economics at university where I founded and led Enactus Durham, one of the most successful social enterprise student societies in the U.K. I also wrote my dissertation on the relationship between corporate social performance and financial performance. Shortly after graduating, I joined LeapFrog Investments (a leading global impact investment fund) as one of its early employees where I invested in and created value for several impactful financial services businesses globally. I have also been a member of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers community where I have worked with like-minded young professionals on impactful local community projects.
What do you like the most about Apis?
Ambitious and driven team, partnering with fantastic businesses, enabling better lives for people across the world
