This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Tamar Kareli, Senior Investment Officer, based in Tbilisi, Georgia.

  • Tamar, what do you like most about working in the impact investing industry?

“What I value most is the unique opportunity to combine financial expertise with the pursuit of positive, measurable change for communities and the environment. Witnessing the real-world outcomes of our investment decisions is both rewarding and inspiring.”

  • Why did you join BlueOrchard?

“I joined BlueOrchard because I believe in the potential of impact investing to drive positive social change. The company’s mission aligns closely with my values and professional aspirations, particularly in bridging the gap between traditional finance and real-world impact.”

  • What is the most memorable experience you have made during your time at BO?

“My most memorable experience was the first visit to one of our end borrowers and seeing first-hand how our support contributed to rural development and empowerment. Engaging directly with beneficiaries put into perspective the true value the work we do.”

Thank you, Tamar!
