Jenn Kenning shares the importance of impact investing

Jennifer Kenning co-founded Align Impact in 2014 on the conviction that we need to align the wealth management process with our values to optimize our financial system, and to do this we needed to get all of the actors across the financial spectrum working together to improve outcomes. Align works alongside financial advisors, institutions, foundations and directly advises individual clients and their family offices, all in the service of integrating impact investments into the broader wealth management strategy. In 2017, Jennifer was selected as one of the 16 Innovators as part of InvestmentNews “Icons and Innovators” feature for 2017. Jennifer was named “40 under 40” for Investment News in 2014, a finalist for “Rising Star for Family Wealth” report, and selected for Private Asset Management’s “50 Most Influential Women in Private Wealth” in 2016

Fail Forward:

The time when Jenn had to scrap the original business model, and restructure the business.

Success Hack:

Be willing to fail. Be open to pivoting.

Randomness Round:

Best advice you have ever received? You go wherever you go. So if you’re running from yourself know that you’ll be going with yourself wherever you’re going next.
