Manage episode 431778283 series 2951547
In this episode of the Female VC Lab Podcast, we're joined by Amy Hepburn, CEO of the Investor Leadership Network (ILN). Founded during the 2018 G7 summit, ILN represents 14 major institutional investors with a staggering $10 trillion in assets under management. Their focus areas include climate change, diversity, and private capital mobilization.
Amy shares her unconventional journey to finance from a background in girls' education and gender equality work. She emphasizes how aligning private capital is crucial for advancing causes she's passionate about – stating that it can help "get us across the finish line."
Discussing venture capital's potential impact on clean tech and green tech economies, Amy highlights the importance of innovation and diverse thought leadership in driving positive change within traditional investment models. She believes that embracing diversity isn't just about minimizing risks but also maximizing opportunities for lasting societal benefits.
At ILN since early 2020 amidst global lockdowns, Amy has been instrumental in scaling their initiatives focused on inclusive finance and industry-wide influence through diversity. The conversation touches upon creating shared futures through inclusivity – an ethos central to both ILN’s mission and the theme of Milken Conference where they are present.
With an eye always on geopolitical trends due to her role at ILN, Amy stays informed via outlets like The New York Times and Washington Post while enjoying podcasts on leadership authenticity for personal enrichment.
Looking ahead two years, Amy aspires for ILN to shape co-creation moments between public-private partnerships throughout financial ecosystems - aiming for more diverse voices making decisions at every level.
