OUR FOUNDER
"For me, impact investing has always been about bringing the full power of capital, innovation, and entrepreneurial thinking to the world’s hardest problems. We don’t have the luxury of incremental solutions — we need scalable models that match the urgency of the challenges we face. That’s why we built Sorenson Impact: to prove that you can pursue strong financial returns and drive meaningful, lasting change at the same time."
