For over twenty years, Brian has been working with nonprofits, government agencies, and for-profit firms to develop their strategies for maximum social impact. Brian believes that in maximizing social impact, organizations can also maximize financial returns.He has worked with clients to apply these strategies to investments in global public health, global technology and telecommunications, and manufacturing sectors.
More recently, Brian has turned his focus on leading a team of academic researchers to focus on utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), financial valuation, and portfolio optimization techniques to evaluate the healthcare sector, identifying undervalued firms relative to their potential social impact on the global healthcare system. He calls this approach “Impact Alpha.”
