“To lean into the future a bit, we’d like to say that when we have met the climate challenge, any reverse engineering at that point would show that women were a key factor. And we’ve seen that for years at ImpactAlpha, across all of our coverage and hundreds of deals and dozens of funds.” This was how ImpactAlpha’s Founder David Bank kicked off the Agents of Impact call with Heading for Change on 15 November 2023, acknowledging the late Suzanne Biegel’s leadership in revealing material connections between the two impact themes.

We are deeply saddened to share that Suzanne Biegel passed away in London on September 20, 2023, after bravely navigating metastatic lung cancer for more than two years.
