Sujata Lamba, Director, World Bank and Shuen Chan, Permian Global Fund give a talk for the Oxford Impact Investment Programme.
Women are defining the field of impact investing and social finance by entering the field in record numbers. Unlike some other executive educations programmes, half the Oxford Impact Investing Programme participants are women.
Learn from the experiences of OIIP alumnae Shuen Chan, Director and Founder at Blue Drum Ventures and Director of Development at Permian Global Fund; and Sujata Lamba, Director of Finance and Private Sector Development and Global Competitive Industries for South Asia at the World Bank; as they provide insights into why women are leaders in the social finance market.
In the webinar we explore questions including: Why is impact investing a promising market for women? What unique skills do women offer the burgeoning field? And how can connections be made among women working in different ways to attain the shared goals of social finance and impact investing?
Shuen and Sujata are seasoned executives in the traditional finance sector who are now working to find ways to tackle the world’s most complex social issues from Asia to Latin America.
