Amit Bouri helped write the Monitor Institute report that became the field’s founding document\, then co-founded the GIIN and spent seventeen years supplying the rest: a working definition\, shared impact metrics\, annual market research and a global community of investors willing to be counted. By the GIIN’s latest estimate\, the market those tools made visible now holds $1.76 trillion in assets under management. The past two years have been harder on it. Economic uncertainty\, inflation\, receding global aid and political backlash have all tested what investor commitments were made of\, while the GIIN’s own data show growth slowing and most of the capital held by a minority of large investors. “We have not made the systemic progress that we need to at a global level\,” Bouri told ImpactAlpha this fall. \nOn December 17\, in the final weeks of his tenure as chief executive\, Bouri returns to Luminarias to take stock. His March 2021 Luminarias conversation turned on reimagining capitalism. This time Laurie Lane-Zucker will ask him which early choices shaped everything that followed\, among them the decision to define impact investing by the investor’s intention and the field’s long effort to show that impact and market-rate returns can coexist. They will look hard at how impact investors behaved once the global economic climate became more uncertain\, and at whether the commitments that held were the ones written into contracts and ownership structures. They will also read the GIIN’s 2026 figures for what they say about slowing growth\, concentrated capital\, flat allocations and the stubborn distance between investors’ stated interest in emerging markets and the money they send there. \nThen the lens widens. Impact Entrepreneur has always treated capital as one instrument in a larger system\, alongside the design and ownership of enterprises and the policy and culture that surround them\, and this conversation will test the field against that wider frame. The conversation will turn to who owns the enterprises impact capital builds\, what becomes of a mission when the investor exits\, whether private capital can carry any of the weight that shrinking aid budgets have dropped\, and what a nonpartisan field should say in public when its mission becomes partisan. Whether you allocate capital or build the enterprises it backs\, this is a rare chance to hear one of the field’s principal architects read his own blueprint\, and to ask him what it left out. \nFeatured Guest\nAmit BouriCEO & Co-Founder\, Global Impact Investing Network Amit Bouri is the CEO and Co-Founder of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN)\, where he leads the largest global community of impact investors dedicated to increasing the scale and effectiveness of impact investing to solve systemic problems facing people and the planet. Since 2009\, Amit has helped global leaders integrate social and environmental factors into investment decisions and mobilize capital for impact more effectively. \nAmit previously held positions at Bain & Company\, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation\, Monitor Institute and within the philanthropy units of Gap Inc. and Johnson & Johnson. He holds an MBA from the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management\, an MPA from Harvard University and a BA from Swarthmore College. \nHost\nLaurie Lane-ZuckerLaurie Lane-Zucker is Founder and CEO of Impact Entrepreneur\, PBC\, an impact economy business that hosts the Impact Entrepreneur Network — a large\, global network of “systems-minded” entrepreneurs\, investors\, and scholars of social and environmental innovation — and editor and publisher of Impact Entrepreneur\, a digital magazine covering the emerging Impact Economy.
