We often don't realize what our action & our inaction do to people we think we will never see & never know.

My dream is to find individuals who take financial resources and convert them into changing the world in the most positive ways.

I've heard it said that the most dangerous animal on the planet is the adolescent male.

We can send people to the Moon; we can see if there's life on Mars - why can't we get $5 [mosquito] nets to 500 million people?

One of the first things that surprised me in a positive, wonderfully positive way, is that this works - patient capital works.

Girls and women are most victimised in societies where boys and men are disempowered.

I was encouraged to break all the rules but to take the best of philanthropy, the best of investing, and the best of development finance, and experiment with new ways to create this venture capital model of using philanthropy to back patient capital investments, and then build solutions that were measured in terms of the kind of impact and change they were making on people's lives and in the world, not just on the financial return.
