Julie Blane has a range of activities in impact investing professional focussing on integrating ESG into venture capital (LinkedIn).

We speak on the strengths, and weaknesses, of impact investing, ESG and Venture Capital. Plus, If you are a lifelong learner, going into a new career is daunting, exciting, scary, thrilling, exhausting, and invigorating, and a whole bunch more. But it's never too late to restart and never too late to reinvent.

For clarity, I have been a tutor on the sustainable finance online short course offered by the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). That does not make me a Cambridge Professor (Julie had got the wrong end of the stick in an earlier conversation).

We recorded this interview on 10 March 2022.
