We've helped hundreds of professionals on their impact finance career transition
"There's nothing else out there like it! It's comprehensive, authentic, and helpful. The variety and breadth of material which is covered in a short amount of time is impressive. The information provided is extremely unique in the impact finance sector!"
ESG Associate
"What I liked most about the program is that the industry professionals took a wide view on the industry and made me feel encouraged to explore impact investing. They were not trying to sell an idea or path but rather to say what you need as well as to encourage me to use existing skills I have. I felt like the practitioners in the course were "my people". I wish I would have found Impact Finance Pro sooner as the course would have helped me land more job offers than I did these past few months which is pretty cool!"
Transaction Leader, India
"Impact Finance Pro and the Pathfinder Program fill a resource gap in the market. There is plenty of excellent content on traditional finance/ consulting interview prep material but very few on linking it to impact. The voices from practitioners throughout the course add practical and real world relevance to the content! The Pathfinder Program is a unique resource to learn the baseline understanding of the expectations and skills needed when aiming for a career pivot into the impact finance space. It also helps candidates reflect on whether they are entering the space for the right reasons."

"As someone who is on the path to make a career shift into the impact investing space this is exactly what I needed and it came at the right time.

It’s an exceptional tool and will be certainly coming back to it again and again."

Meet Your Impact Finance Career Coaches
Ashley Lewis & Aunnie Patton Power
We are so excited that you are interested in building an impactful career. We've been in your shoes! While we eventually found a way to successfully make the transition into the impact finance sector, it wasn't easy or linear. Readily accessible information was not widely available, the jargon for the sector could be confusing, and we had to build networks from scratch in order to find the relevant actors and organizations. While we made it to the other side, we were often left thinking that there must be a better way. We believe that it is important that we use our tools, resources, and knowledge to equip the next generation of impact financiers the way we would have liked to be supported. We realized that there is a huge opportunity to continue to prepare and guide aspiring impact-driven talent to organizations looking for phenomenal individuals and wanted to provide a solution. That is why we built Impact Finance Pro and curated and designed the Pathfinder Program. Our overall goal is to make career preparation inclusive, accessible, and fun for people entering into the sector. Throughout the years we have coached and educated thousands of professionals who want to pursue a similar path. We are excited to be part of your career journey and look forward to helping you land your dream job in the impact finance space. Ashley Lewis & Aunnie Patton Power
