Innovative Finance for the Common Good
Georgia Levenson Keohane (MBA 2000), executive director, Pershing Square Foundation
From climate change and public health to disaster response, financial inclusion, and community development, Georgia Levenson Keohane (MBA 2000) will discuss how innovative finance can be harnessed to tackle the world's most urgent problems.
Keohane will also explain how market failure in one context can be solved with market solutions from another. Whether it's a vaccine or green bond, drought insurance, pay-as-you-go financing for solar electricity in Kenya, or discounted metro cards in New York, innovative finance is as much about incentives and sound decision making as it is about money; when it works, innovative finance gives us the tools, motivation, and security to invest in our shared future.
