Today, I’m joined by Ebru Kaya and André Stürmer, co-founders and Stewards of Atreyu and RIA. Previously, Ebru was the CEO of The Hatchery, an impact fund focussed on food. Ebru had a long career in Finance Marketing and Strategy at Unilever in Europe & Africa and at RCL Foods in South Africa. Amongst others, Ebru led the Sustainability agenda in Central Africa for Unilever and in South Africa for RCL Foods.
As for André, he has been supporting young businesses in South Africa since 2009, in his capacity as a coach to management, as chairman, as fundraiser, and as an investor – both on his own account and as MD of TriVest, a German-owned VC based in South Africa. Before that, he was an investment banker in London & Johannesburg with JP Morgan.
This special playlist is developed in partnership with ChangeNOW. It brings together conversations with fund managers who presented on stage during Funds for Change, and with investors, operators, and thinkers navigating the tensions of impact, climate, and finance.
Key topics:
- Why going deeper can create more impact than scaling faster, and choosing integrity over growth in regenerative investing.
- How unlearning conventional finance and redefining value transforms both investing practice and personal life.
- Why regenerative investing is a continuous practice of experimentation, where learning only matters when embedded in action.
- Building relationships and communities as the true infrastructure for long-term systems change rather than relying on transactions or expertise.
