Jacqueline Novogratz is the founder and CEO of Acumen, an impact investment fund that has partnered to build more than 100 social enterprises that bring basic services like affordable education, health care, clean water, energy, and sanitation to more than 300 million people across Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and the United States.
In her latest book, Manifesto for a Moral Revolution: Practices to Build a Better World, published in May 2020, she explains that continued technological advancement and market solutions won’t solve the defining problems of our time (inequality and climate change). She calls for a moral revolution to reimagine and reform technology, politics, and business.
In a conversation with Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, she discusses insights from her new book, including on moral imagination, and patient capital.
