This week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Anne Danker, Associate Impact Manager, based in Switzerland.

  • Anne, what do you like most about working at BlueOrchard?

The people. We are a diverse and global team, all coming together to work towards the same shared goal of a more inclusive and sustainable world. Working in such an environment is energizing and inspiring.”

  • What motivates you – professionally and personally?

“Contributing to positive change is very motivating. There are so many challenges in the world today, but I find it empowering to know I can take action and contribute to addressing some of them.”

  • Could you share the best advice you have ever received?

Trust the process. Meaningful change and results often take time, and challenges or setbacks are normal. Staying patient and committed to long-term goals, but being flexible in how to get there, will ultimately be rewarded.”

  • What new skill or knowledge have you gained since joining BlueOrchard?

Impact investing is evolving rapidly, so there’s always something new to learn and new challenges to solve. No two days are ever the same at BlueOrchard, and I really enjoy the diversity of projects and topics I get to work on every day.”

  • What does “impact” mean to you on a personal level?

“Being mindful of how my choices and behavior affect others and the environment, and making a conscious effort to contribute positively through my work, daily actions, and interactions with the people around me.”

Thank you, Anne!
