Susan Davis: Accelerating growth in social investing
Susan was honored to be one of Ode's top 25
Intelligent Optimists in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue, by
Hazel Henderson, president and founder, Ethical Markets
Media, and author of Ethical Markets: Growing the Green
Economy.
Hazel Henderson, president and founder
of Ethical Markets Media, nominates Susan Davis as a
true female activist forging her way to a new green
economy.
Susan Davis, president of Capital
Missions, has been working in the trenches of our
dysfunctional capital markets for decades. She helped
found the community bank ShoreBank; the Committee of
200, a group of top women business owners she empowered
to take charge of their money; and Investors’ Circle, a
national network of social venture capital investors.
Susan founded most of the effective networks of
investors funding solar energy and shifting our global
economy toward sustainability. Susan is working closely
with me to accelerate the growth of the green economy.
We’ve given up on Wall Street, so we’re helping launch a
new electronic stock exchange exclusively devoted to
socially responsible investors and enterprises, Mission
Markets. Like most female leaders, Susan isn’t
ego-driven, nor does she seek publicity or power. Only
since the current financial crises are women being
called on for advice; Wall Street has always been a male
bastion and still deeply resists women. Susan has long
believed the most effective approach to deep social
change is to fly under the radar. So it gives me great
pleasure to nominate her in the hope that she gets some
richly deserved credit at last.
