How Financial Feminism can change the world | EP01.S2 Jessica Robinson
September 15, 2021
In this episode, I had a conversation with Jessica Robinson about sustainable investing and why it’s important for women to know about finance. We also discussed greenwashing, crypto as male dominated community, and the financial gaps that women face.
Jessica is a strategic advisor to governments, institutional investors, think tanks and companies on all things related to green finance, sustainability and responsible investment. She has lived and worked in North America, Europe and Asia and is now based in Dubai, a global citizen at heart.
