Joy Anderson is a leader at the intersection of business and social change. She is the president and founder of Criterion Institute, a nonprofit that does research and education to broaden who and what matters in the work of reinventing the economy. Criterion Institute has helped launch and grow the gender lens investing field. She has been a teacher, a consultant, and a founding principal of Good Capital, an investment firm that increases the flow of capital to innovative ventures creating solutions to inequality and poverty. Her thought leadership focuses on shaping financial markets, investing with a gender lens, and combining theological and financial imagination.

In this interview we discuss:
How Joy's experience in public education informs her approach to investing
Privilege 101 and addressing structural inequity by co-imagining what role finance can play in driving social change
Moving from the idea of “economy” as an abstraction to a more granular systems change view of market systems that work for people
The endless temptation of end-results and the arrogance embedded in expectations around “getting” results
