In this month’s episode of Smarter Impact, Philip Bateman talks to Dr Catherine Brown OAM about the opportunity to change ideas into reality and make a difference.
Dr Catherine Brown OAM is the CEO of Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation. She was also a member of the Social Impact Investment Taskforce advising the prime minister in 2019-2020 and is deputy chair of the Australian Environmental Grantmakers Network.
In this interview, she talks about de-risking things for government, the challenges in helping people make the leap from granting to impact investing, and why you need a strong back office if you’re going to trampoline into innovation.
