“The impact investment sector is growing rapidly; rising to meet the social and environmental challenges that will continue to confront us over time,” said Madhavan.
“I have spent time at the helm of one of the oldest investment houses in Australia, and through this experience grew to understand the true power and importance of finance in our society. I look forward to joining a team that is harnessing this power to build a more equitable, sustainable and prosperous economy together. The horizon is full of opportunity for those dedicated to building a better world.”
