Rehana Nathoo, Founder & CEO of Spectrum Impact, takes us all over the globe, from her whimsical move to New Orleans, her family’s roots in Africa & immigration to Canada and to Bolivia, where she experienced the true impact of grassroots efforts. Rehana sees circumstance as opportunity. She sees impact not as a moral framework but as an opportunity to redefine and align incentives with our system, reconciling how we can use capitalism as a force for good while also accounting for its exploitative past.

  • Her transition from New York to New Orleans [1:43]
  • Her revolutionary experience in Bolivia, seeing grassroots effort change peoples’ preference and presumptions [5:01]
  • Her family roots & how history can shape our paths [11:20]
