OUR MISSION
is to prepare the next generation of talent to thrive in the impact economy.
FOR PEOPLE,
FOR PLANET,
& FOR PROFIT.
Advancing Impact was founded with the core belief that business and finance can, and should, be a force for good in this world.
WHY WE EXIST
With a polycrisis of problems around the globe, business has the potential to elevate shared prosperity today and protect a livable future for tomorrow.
​
But the hard truth is that blending and executing on social, environmental, and financial returns is incredibly difficult.
​​​
Reaching our desired outcomes will require competent collective action – and that starts with motivated individuals. Preparation aligns purpose with performance.
GO FROM INTENT TO IMPACT, FASTER
The pathway to discovering, landing, and building a career that aligns profit with purpose can be opaque, daunting, and discouraging. Furthermore, once inside the impact economy, too much energy is spent on orientation and fundamentals that should be a given, instead of outcomes pushing the frontier.
​​​​​
Advancing Impact's resources are designed to help you land your dream role and equip you with the skills to hit the ground running. Explore our industry explainers, recruiting guides, tailored 1:1 support, and more to go from intent to impact, faster.
Hi! I'm Kevin.
I founded Advancing Impact to create the resources I wish I had when I was making the leap into the impact economy.
Previously, I worked as an Investment Manager with King Philanthropies, where I helped manage a venture capital impact investing portfolio focused on the intersection of climate change and improving livelihoods. I covered sectors like energy access, water, education, artificial intelligence, CDR, electric mobility, and housing.
​
Prior to transitioning into impact, I was an investor with Vector Capital, a technology- and software-focused private equity fund. I started my career in investment banking at Guggenheim Partners in the Technology, Media, and Telecom group.
​
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, with a separate minor in Music Performance.
​
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family (including one dog and two cats), cooking spicy Sichuan food, and playing flag football.
I'm glad you're here, and I can't wait to see the impact you'll create. I'd love to connect to help however I can. Just schedule some time through my calendar.
