In 2018, I co-founded Inflection Finance, a boutique finance consulting firm specializing in Impact Investment solutions for developing countries. Our mission is to increase the flow of effective capital to achieve meaningful and sustainable development outcomes by bridging the gap between domestic and international finance. To accomplish this, we design, implement, and monitor innovative partnerships between governments and private entities (both for-profit and non-profit).

Our firm excels in designing and promoting long-term financing strategies for countries, assisting private corporations in strategizing their long-term expansion, and supporting foundations to maximize their venture philanthropy investments. We specialize in creating and implementing impact investment vehicles that blend concessional and impact capital. This includes issuing sovereign or private SDG-themed Bonds (Green, Blue, SLB, Gender), negotiating Debt for Nature Swaps, developing green and blue carbon-based financing vehicles, Social Impact Bonds (SIBs), and other innovative mechanisms to finance public goods development.

We have also developed advanced impact measurement systems that integrate satellite technology, machine learning, and advanced forecasting techniques. Our diverse clientele includes governments, private investors, and international Foundations. We have assembled a global team of highly experienced professionals dedicated to supporting our projects.
