Mallen Baker: Faultlines

Amy Clarke – Investing in impact


Listen Later

In this episode, I talk to Amy Clarke, co-founder and chief impact officer at Tribe Impact Capital, the award-winning wealth management firm and BCorp.

Before her current role, Amy has been senior vice president for international CSR at Bank of America, and head of CSR UK for Microsoft.

In this interview, we talk about how she got to where she is and what she learned along the way. We talk about the sustainability challenges for the finance system, and who makes up the growing body of successful people who want their money to have an impact in line with their values.

Amy is a thoughtful and highly experienced observer of the current trends and we had a great conversation.
