Laurie Spengler: taking impact investing to the next level Good Future
-
- Business
Laurie Spengler is the President and CEO of Enclude, an impact investing advisory firm that gives itself the unique title of being an impact investment bank. They work all over the world helping to build businesses that are solving some of the world’s biggest challenges
As will become clear in the conversation, Laurie isn’t phased by much. She has a high tolerance for working with uncertainty and ambiguity and that can be traced back to her years managing transactions in Czechoslovakia after the wall fell. When it was re-writing its laws and rebuilding its financial institutions.
I’ve spoken about impact investing with many of my guests on this podcast, but with Laurie we go deeper. We look at the more technical financial strategies, and the vital issue of which enterprises are best suited for receiving an impact investment, and how to level the playing field between those seeking capital, and those looking to invest.
Whether you work in sustainable development, in finance or if you just want to know more about social enterprise, Laurie’s insights are super valuable. She’s a global leader in this space, a rare intellect, but she also has an uncanny ability to bring these ideas to life and make it easy to understand.
