Hello Community!
Today I have joined a fascinating prep chat with our community champion Elaine Xu (Quilter) and our guest speaker David Russel for online meetup on March 21st. What a great fortune for us to greet @David Russell at the community and the meetup on 21st!
David has decades of practical experience leading responsible investments in the UK's largest pension fund (USS), building and growing the team, developing strategies and leading the company towards its sustainability goals. The prep chat was filled with so much knowledge and experience, I can only imaging what the actual meetup is going to be like.
After a chat with David, you will network with others in breakout rooms, as usual.
We are not recording these sessions, so don't miss it!
Reserve your free place here.
