IMPACT THEMES

I support startup founders to design, fund, and grow purpose-driven ventures - to foster a sustainable & healthy world.

My portfolio companies are focused on developing solutions at the intersection of nature, health, and community impact - I invest my time in transformative ventures to create inclusive environmental & societal change.

As a MovingWorlds Fellow of Social Impact, my portfolio aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

I also collaborate with academic institutions, venture studios, accelerators, and investment firms - to drive funding & growth across their portfolio.

ACADEMIC INSTITUTION

Training the next generation of purpose-driven leaders to “do good while they do well”.

Peter F. Drucker crossed many boundaries as a writer, teacher, management consultant and business visionary. He’s been called “the inventor of modern management” for good reason. He believed in business as a human-driven enterprise that could be profitable and socially responsible.

Dr. Drucker radically expanded the concept of management to include a focus on how businesses operate morally and ethically. The result: his groundbreaking work transformed modern management into a discipline now taught at business schools and practiced in companies all over the world.

The Drucker Institute
The Institute was established in 1999 to collect and preserve Peter F. Drucker's work and make it available to leaders, managers, scholars, students, and writers, advancing initiatives that support the practice of management. Today, as a social enterprise, the Institute’s purpose is ‘Strengthening Organizations to Strengthen Society’. It does this by turning Drucker’s ideas and ideals into programs that are both practical and inspiring. It does this because society is only as strong as the organizations within it. The Institute is a close affiliate of the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management, which is training the next generation of leaders and managers to “do good while they do well”.

Role: Fellow
Focus: Leadership & Management Programs
Sectors: Public, Private, and Social
