Friday 8th March is International Women’s Day. At Good Finance, we wanted to spotlight and celebrate the fantastic women working within social investment in one way or another, with a particular focus on those we haven’t yet heard from.
Spotlight on Patricia Hamzahee
Patricia is an advisor, impact investor and philanthropist. After 20 years in investment banking and financial communications, Patricia now wears many hats, including running her consultancy Integriti Capital, as well as her work as a co-founder of Extend Ventures, increasing access to funding for diverse start-ups and small businesses. In addition, Patricia is a proud co-funder of the Black Funding Network and GiveBLACK, a Non-Executive Director of Social Enterprise UK and a member of Women in Social Finance. She is also an Investment Committee Member for Big Society Capital.
We caught up with Patricia to explore…
- Her experiences in social investment thus far with consideration to the many organisations she is involved in
- Her take on inclusion and who has inspired her on this topic
- Reflections on her career so far, what she’s proud of and top tips for any listeners on how they can celebrate achievements, raise awareness about discrimination and take action to drive gender parity.
