Sophia leads the Institute’s Endowments with Impact Challenge Lab. As part of this, she works closely with the Boards of charitable foundations who are exploring an impact investing strategy, has developed a multi-part training programme on impact investing in the main endowment and most recently authored a report on Evolving your endowment: Driving change through impact investing.
Sophia’s work at the Institute also spans the pension space, with a particular focus on how fiduciary duties can be reformed to become more enabling of an impact investing strategy and advocating for the deployment of more catalytic capital to support a just transition to net-zero globally.
Sophia previously worked across delivery and business development in the digital education space. She also spent time working in international development in Pakistan; raising funds for girls’ education across Asia at the Pan-Asian Women’s Association; and was an Associate at On Purpose, a one-year programme for early-career professionals identified as future leaders in social enterprise.
