What if your money could do good and still earn a return?
Nadia Nikolova is CEO of responsAbility, one of the world’s leading impact investors, with USD 5.8 billion invested in around 70 countries (as of 30 September 2026). She shows that capital and impact go together.
We talk about:
👉 Growing up in Bulgaria as communism fell
👉 Blended finance, and when it makes sense
👉 Why “it’s not a capital problem, it’s an allocation problem”
👉 Leading responsAbility after a 22-year legacy
“As an impact investor, you don’t find impact. You make it.” (Nadia Nikolova)
