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.
