Speaker:

Kathryn Wortsman joined the team at the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing in 2015 as Investment Director. She is responsible for managing the MaRS Catalyst Fund and developing other impact investment opportunities.

Kathryn has spent most of her 20-year career investing and managing venture capital and private equity in small- to medium-sized businesses both in New York and Toronto, and has held a number of board roles for companies in the U.S. and Canada. Her passion for social finance was born 10 years ago when she joined Social Venture Partners NYC and then subsequently founded Social Venture Partners Toronto and later Crest Capital Corporation. After two years of co-managing the business, Kathryn wanted to further expand her ability to catalyze capital for social and environmental good and merge the worlds of private equity and social impact, thus joining the team at the MaRS Centre for Impact Investing.

Kathryn was born and raised in Toronto and has an undergraduate degree from the University of Western Ontario and an MBA from Columbia University in New York.
