Two distinguished leaders to help Newday Impact accelerate growth and impact
SAN FRANCISCO — June 1st, 2021 — Newday Impact, a San Francisco-based asset management and financial technology company that brings authentic responsible investing to those wanting their investments to reflect their values, has added two new members to their Board of Advisors, Chid Liberty and Steve Young.
Chid Liberty is Group CEO of Made in Africa (MIA), a global luxury group and platform for African creatives. Mr. Liberty is a co-founder of MIA with Kojo Annan. Inspired by the Nobel Peace Prize winning Liberian Women’s Peace Movement, Chid also co-founded Liberty & Justice, Africa’s first Fair Trade certified apparel factory to provide economic opportunities for internally displaced women, who on balance, were vulnerable to rampant unemployment and economic exclusion. Mr. Liberty is an Ashoka Fellow, an Unreasonable Group Fellow, earned his MBA at Oxford University and serves on the Sorenson Impact Foundations Investment Committee.
Steve Young, a former founder of Magni Global Asset Management, is the Global Executive Director at the Caux Roundtable for Moral Capitalism, an international network of principled business leaders working to promote moral capitalism. The Caux Roundtable advocates implementation of its Principles for Business through which principled capitalism can flourish, while sustainable and socially responsible prosperity can become the foundation for a fair, free, and transparent global society. Young has published “Moral Capitalism” and “The Road to Moral Capitalism”, two well-received books written as a guide to implement the Caux Roundtable’s ethical and socially responsible Principles for Business. Young was educated at Harvard College and Harvard Law School. He served as an Assistant Dean at the Harvard Law School. He has taught at the University of Minnesota, the SASIN Graduate School of Management, the Carlson School of Management, and Minnesota State University.
“Chid and Steve bring unqualified expertise to the Newday Impact team, both having spent decades working on social justice issues and sustainability projects here in the U.S. and abroad. We are confident that they will make extraordinary contributions to our efforts to build a more equitable and just society both inside and outside of Newday”, said Doug Heske CEO of Newday Impact. Mr. Liberty and the company he leads (Made In Africa), will collaborate with Newday as the company expands its Diversity Equity and Inclusion impact initiative and investment strategies. Mr. Young will continue to help Newday Impact advance its investment methodology as it licenses the Caux Roundtable’s global insights into its investment discipline for long term value creation.
My Liberty and Mr. Young join a distinguished group of impact leaders that include Erika Sauer (Executive Director of the Elsa Miller Foundation), Lindsay Lee (Founder and Managing Partner at Authentic Ventures), Nancy Heinen (Former General Counsel at Apple Computer), Alex Meek (Cofounder at Moxion Power), Nathan Dungan (CEO of Share Save Spend), John Brown (Managing Partner at Sands Point Consulting), Colby Stahl (Partner at Distro Media), and Rich Moran (Partner at Tonic Bioventures).
