Afsaneh Bescholoss founded RockCreek in 2003 as a global investment firm that applies innovation to decision-making to help shape a more sustainable tomorrow. With $15 billion invested, the company believes that integrating inclusion and sustainability from the very beginning is the soundest way to generate long-term value.

In a fireside chat, we will discuss Afsaneh’s leadership in ESG and impact investing, getting capital to diverse asset managers and underrepresented founders, and advice to students to ensure their work has social and environmental impact. Following our discussion, there will be time for audience Q&A.

This is a Sustainable Futures event. Developing a sustainable, climate-resilient economy covers every aspect of business - agriculture, real estate, energy, finance, and corporations. All these aspects of business will need to be reimagined and redesigned to address the current environmental, social and economic crises.

This event is co-sponsored by the Sustainable and Impact Finance Initiative.
