Amit Bouri (Kellogg '07) is the co-founder and CEO of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the scale and effectiveness of impact investing. When Amit Bouri left his consulting job at Monitor in 2009 to start the Global Impact Investing Network, the global financial crisis was testing the very foundation of the global economy—it was also challenging the many assumptions investors made about how markets operate. Amidst this change, a group of pioneering investors saw an opportunity to build a real market for impact investments and channel vast amounts of capital towards addressing social and environmental challenges. Seven years later, the idea of impact investing has captured the imaginations of leaders and investors around the world. There are at least 350 impact investing vehicles operating worldwide, and the GIIN's own membership has grown from 25 organizations to more than 220. And impact investing has only just begun to scratch the surface.
