On-Purpose

“The On Purpose Associate Programme allowed me to explore an industry I was deeply passionate about through a variety of different roles and perspectives. Alongside the learning and personal development, I have built a network of friends and work contacts that I will keep for life.”

Clare's life before On Purpose was in the world of finance, working for Nomura and Macquarie in the area of institutional equity for over five years. It was during her time on the committee of the Macquarie Foundation that she discovered Impact Investment and left her career to dig a bit deeper. The Social Starters programme took her to India in 2017 where she worked with a social enterprise incubator on investor readiness training.
