Advocate and investor in women's health. Documentary film enthusiast and financier. In 2017, I co-founded The Case For Her, a philanthropic investment portfolio, engaging in women’s health areas that are often globally taboo, stigmatised and massively underfunded such as menstrual health and sexual health and pleasure. We are risk tolerant, innovative, nimble funders. My work includes getting women’s health on the global health agenda and scaling up funding through investment, evidence based research and advocacy, truly making the case for her. I invest in education and healthcare for girls, through the Giving Wings Foundation, believing that education is at the core of unleashing a person’s potential, and the impact of education for girls extends well beyond the individual to her family and her community.Producing the documentary "The Devil Came on Horseback", in 2006 awakened my fascination with the untold stories of real people and my passion for putting a human face on global issues. Co-founding Influence Film came out of this experience and my desire to help documentary filmmakers complete their projects, but also increase their impact by reaching a broader audience. Influence Film Features and Foundation focus on the former. Influence Film Club focuses on the latter by promoting small, intimate screenings and discussions through at-home film clubs. With these at-home documentary film clubs, my hope is to further support documentary film as a powerful tool for change by growing audiences of active and engaged individuals.
