Humans of Purpose

From the frontlines of apartheid to pioneering impact investment, Sandy Blackburn is a force for change. This week, we dive deep into her incredible journey. Sandy lived and worked for 15 years in Southern Africa, leading projects during the dismantling of apartheid. She’s also been a pioneer in the impact investment sector in Asia Pacific, leading the first social impact bonds and negotiating several others. Now throughout Australia for 10 years, Sandy has been at the helm of Social Outcomes, a firm she founded to support organisations to design and measure impact. Discover how Sandy's innovative approaches and commitment to measuring impact have transformed organisations and communities. Join us in this enlightening conversation for practical insights and inspiration on making a difference. Promotional Partnerships Like what we are serving up on Humans of Purpose?
