Ellen Remmer’s journey from enlightened philanthropist to impact investor is a story that can inspire all of us.
Recently, I sat down with Ellen to discuss her life’s journey. I wanted to share her experience because it speaks to the potential of investing capital to achieve both social benefit and financial gain. It’s also instructive in describing how investors can change their mind about the role and possibilities of wealth.

Many of us are struggling with the current global refugee crisis and seeking some small way to make a difference. Ban Ki-Moon wrote an op-ed for The New York Times titled, “The refugee crisis is a test of our collective conscience.”
The situation is overwhelming and absolutely a test of our collective conscience. As global citizens, we can use our awareness, energy and philanthropy to help. The impact investor has additional options.
One of the most rewarding parts of our work at Veris is engaging with thought leaders whose views and initiatives are having a positive impact on the world. We hope you enjoy the Veris Leadership and encourage you to share it.
