Here’s some info on Sir Ronald Cohen – I think you’ll find that he is definitely breaking the norm!

Throughout the world, capitalism and democracy are being challenged with great force.

Why? Because we live in an outdated system where powerful companies are considered successful by making huge profits–even if it means harming our society and planet.

No one is holding them accountable.

The world must change, but we cannot change it by throwing money at old ideas that no longer work. We need a new path to a new world where inequality is shrinking, where natural resources are regenerated, and people can benefit from shared prosperity.

This is the world being created by the Impact Revolution.

Led by Sir Ronald Cohen, preeminent international philanthropist, venture capitalist, private equity investor, and social innovator, The Impact Revolution proves that changing the world and making a profit can go hand in hand. 

Once an Egyptian refugee who’s family escaped to England with only €10 to their name, Sir Ronald Cohen has blazed a trail through hard work and understanding economic struggle. Referred to in the British press as ‘the father of social investment’, and ‘a compassionate capitalist’, Sir Ronald Cohen is leading the Impact Revolution to achieve real social and environmental change. As one of the “Fathers of Venture Capital in the U.K.”, Sir Ronald’s pioneering initiatives in driving impact investment have catalyzed a number of global efforts, each focused on driving private capital to serve social and environmental good.
