About this episode

Philanthropy and the private sector haven’t always known how to work together. But today, investors are becoming more concerned about social and environmental impact. 


Gary White, CEO of the nonprofit Water.org and the asset manager WaterEquity, seized this opportunity. His organizations have provided access to safe water and sanitation to over 55 million people around the world. 


Today we’ll learn how system catalysts can collaborate with the financial sector to solve our world’s most pressing issues.


Featuring Gary White, CEO and Cofounder, Water.org & WaterEquity and Paul O’Connell, President of WaterEquity.
