North Sky is one of the most experienced impact investing firms in the United States, based on the six impact funds it manages and its early entry into private markets impact investing in 2005.
Andrew has a long-standing commitment to environmental and social matters, which includes professional work on clean energy and healthy living & aging funds, as well as his personal work with the Resolution Project, which develops socially responsible young leaders and empowers them to make a positive impact across the globe. “He understands that the attractive returns profiles of our funds offer a terrific opportunity to expand the appeal of impact investing to all investors, big and small.
