SPOTLIGHT ON HANNA FANNING

TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR BACKGROUND

I am Swedish and moved to the UK in 2002. I studied law at university and started my career as a corporate lawyer, working in Sweden, briefly in New York, and in London. In 2012 I joined a charity providing access to higher education and entrepreneurship opportunities to socially vulnerable, young people in Rwanda. That work led to an opportunity to co-found and lead an impact investment organisation providing access to capital and extensive support to Rwandan entrepreneurs. Wishing to build on this experience and having seen first-hand the importance of patient and flexible risk capital and quality support, I was drawn to CAF Venturesome, its social investment model and potential for significant impact. I am delighted to be part of the CAF team and look forward to working with you all.
