Investing for Peace has appointed Corine Franken as Investment Director. She joins with more than 17 years in impact investing and portfolio management, having invested some EUR 330 million across around 30 transactions, most of them as lead investor or mandated lead arranger. Her track record spans twelve years at FMO, a period leading energy venture investment at Invest-NL, and deal experience in fragile and conflict-affected markets from Chad and Mali to Sierra Leone and Nigeria.
“Financing peace is where my experience and my convictions meet. I have spent my career backing companies that keep the lights on and the economy moving in the hardest places. Investing for Peace is building the vehicle that lets that capital arrive at scale, and I am delighted to join at this moment.”Corine Franken, Investment Director
“Corine brings exactly what this platform needs: she has led transactions in the markets others avoid, and she has done it across debt, equity and blended structures. Very few investors combine that depth of fragile-market experience with her discipline on environmental and social risk. We are fortunate to have her.”Pierre Van Hoeylandt, Chief Executive
