I’m excited to leverage my impact investing experience and networks in developing markets to add to SAIF’s robust resources. I look forward to bringing diverse perspectives to SAIF events to raise awareness about how capital and business skillsets can be used to drive impact alongside the other Student Advisory Board members.

Pursuing the intersection of sustainability, finance, and impact investing, I was motivated by the SAIF initiatives and applied to Haas. I’m excited to join the SAIF Student Advisory Board and support like-minded students’ journeys by leveraging my experience in global alternative investment and risk management. I look forward to further building a diverse community to embody the four Defining Leadership Principles of Haas from a sustainable and impact finance lens!

I’m thrilled for the opportunity to join the SAIF Advisory Board and get to contribute to the Berkeley Haas ecosystem of sustainable finance and impact investing. I look forward to being a steward and ambassador or Berkeley between industry leaders and Haas students.

I am thrilled to become a part of the SAIF Advisory Board, where the fusion of sustainability, finance, and impact investing is not just a concept, but a practiced reality. My anticipation lies in not only fortifying a nexus for student engagement and learning but also in broadening the horizons of impact that extend beyond academic precincts, shaping a future where finance is synonymous with positive, sustainable change.

Leveraging over a decade of responsible investment experience, I hope to help shape both the curriculum and resources available to Haas students. As the space continues to evolve, its imperative for Haas to maintain its leadership position in sustainability, from academic offerings to alumni engagement.
Returning Board Members
Abby Gritter, Co-Chair
I look forward to joining the SAIF Student Advisory Board as a way to share my prior impact investing experience and network while continuing to learn from and with my classmates. Together, SAIF Board members can continue to develop insightful programming to engage our peers in substantive questions and support each others’ career journeys to further Haas’ role on the leading edge of impact finance education.

Through the SAIF Student Advisory Board, I hope to further Haas’s focus and efforts on sustainability and impact financing. Can’t wait to drive new and existing programs for our Haas community and our reach externally! Let’s shift the direction of our climate future!
Christine Kim
Leveraging my multi-asset quantitative research and ESG emerging markets background, I’m looking forward to helping students navigate sustainable finance and impact investing at Haas with SAIF. I am excited to collaborate in enriching dialogue and capturing the nuances surrounding sustainable and impact finance. In particular, I’m interested in supporting initiatives that shed a spotlight on asset classes that are underrepresented in the realm of sustainable finance.
Delphine Anglo
While I care deeply about climate action, I recognize that “sustainability” goes beyond the “E” of “ESG” and even transcends “ESG” itself. If pressing global challenges do not provide strong incentives for companies to consider integrating sustainability into their strategy, in the face of persistent pressure from investors, civil society, and other major stakeholders, the private sector cannot resist the need to broadly redefine the way it works. Finance is vital to the economy of both developed and emerging countries, and it can play a key role in moving towards a more sustainable future (and present) when used wisely. I firmly believe that sustainability, impact, and profitability can coexist and last. I am excited to build on Haas leadership principles to play through the SAIF initiative an active role in equipping generations of leaders with the thinking and real-world tools not to tackle but to embrace sustainability.
Jeremy Baptiste
Sustainable and impact finance have the power to solve society’s largest issues by allocating capital to individuals and businesses that are focused on the greater good. My goal is to further the conversation on impact measurement and explore diverse ways to meaningfully effect change. I’m excited to be a part of the SAIF initiative at Haas.
Meredith Albion
The SAIF Student Advisory Board was one of the initiatives inspiring me to continue my education at Haas. Capital is a powerful and important tool to spearhead sustainable initiatives, and I truly believe it can help address important issues facing our society today. I look forward to building upon Haas’s presence in the space and increasing our involvement in the impact investing community.
