GrowthView is the first social and economic column. We take a positive, non-biased and relevant angle to sustainability, impact investment and public growth – to make this world more prosperous for all.
We build on c-level conversations, government relations and investor actions to shift people’s thinking and corporate action.
Why is GrowthView compelling for readers?
GrowthView is the first publication that combines social and economic strategies towards sustainability and positive impact. The aim is to share knowledge and build corporate strategies that are meaningful for people. The information and questions are angled positively with a focus on people as well as corporate organisations.
Let’s speak about your view on prosperity and financial drivers. The values we share is what connects us and money markets reflect this.

Why is it important?
It is important to have a neutral, non-biased view of the world so we all become better at what we do. Markets are becoming inefficient and governments are flipping strategies to protect national interest. That’s why we need to find a balance again, that is driven by people, markets and human values – to make this world a better place for all.
What is different about GrowthView? It is positive, it is digestible and it is relevant – we call upon metaphors, financial tools, experiences in developing countries and market actions. The aim is to help others reflect on our current economic and social environment – and shift practices.
It is written and reflects markets as much as people. From the corporate leader, to the man and woman on the street and the younger generation looking for answers on how to make an impact. We focus on the win-win in our circular economies between governments, businesses, and societies. We take a logical approach to problems and social situations.
What are some of the questions in GrowthView?
GrowthView takes the approach of asking its readers’ questions. These topics are to help them on their own social and economic path. The questions have depth, relatable and strategic to enable governments and companies adapt their business model NOW for a sustainable FUTURE. We share intel and pose tactical questions on sustainability, social considerations, human-behaviours that impact our economy.
We focus on individuals and financial-incentives that are the money-changer towards prosperity.
- What does a change in the economy mean for you, as an individual?
- How do your social and economic choices foster impact?
- What is the role of corporates towards the changing landscape of sustainability?
- What do you as an individual value and what is missing for you to achieve it?
- How will investment strategies, ROI, CSR funds catalyse new priorities and business models around the world?
- What does the buzz around impact investment tangibly mean for you, your community, organisation or country and where is the opportunity?
GrowthView offers View into the future with a market Growth priority.
What are the Social and Economic chapters to come?
GrowthView will have 5 chapters to shift positive actions on sustainability, prosperity and money markets.
- Set the scene & ask questions – to get people thinking, what is impact investment, what are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), how is political, social and economies tied so closely together. What is the language and how do we each define it.
- The economic theories – what are possible solutions we as a society, corporates or funds can do. How to create greater gains and incorporate social considerations.
- The market product for sustainability – what will be the sustainable product of the future which will attract the most capital? Who will be the market leader in this space?
- Re-evaluate – is this really what people want and is it sustainable? Re-evaluate the theories and get direct feedback.
- Partner with the United Nations (UN) – corporates, banks and governments as UN partners with tangible metrics and comparative advantages.
In sum, this is the journey to sustainable and impact growth which is mirrored by our GrowthView columns:
Does GrowthView have personal insights?
I grew up understanding quickly what “social help” and “social support” means. Having lived it myself – my personal growth story evolved into my professional journey in finance and international development around the world. I evolved and learned year after year. I worked in Wealth Management for top-tier private banks in NYC and Geneva for UHNW clients. Thereafter, I went into strategy consulting particularly in technology and change for large investment banks. I combined my academic background in Politics and International Development to work in Sub-Sahara Africa and the levant. With the aim to facilitate GDP growth and employment opportunities that will help poor communities and build inclusive businesses.
GrowthView is bringing back the social component that most newspapers, magazines and academic journals are missing.
Our column takes a social and economic angle to address poverty and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
