Sophie Robé leaves Phenix Capital after 7,5 years
Sophie Robé, Founder of Phenix Capital, has made the decision to leave the company after 7,5 energizing and inspiring years, during which she brought the company from a start-up to a successful scale up. With a strong and capable team present, she feels that the time is ripe to explore new horizons. Dirk Meuleman will take the helm as CEO of Phenix Capital Group after a gradual transition period over the last months.
Comment Sophie Robé:
"I am proud of what we have been able to establish with all the people that are working and have worked for Phenix. 7,5 years ago, impact investing was a niche, a specialty not many people had heard of. Now, large and small institutions and companies are all making commitments to use their power and capital to make a positive change in the world. I like to think that we at Phenix Capital have been a catalyst in this change. By inspiring large institutional investors to build impact mandates, by finding the right impact funds, by advising large investors how to make a positive change. By organizing events where we connected investors with fund managers, a platform that is widely recognized as a must visit for everyone in the industry to share and obtain knowledge on institutional Impact Investing. "
Comment Dirk Meuleman:
"I would like to thank Sophie for her years of hard work and passion in catalyzing institutional investors to move into impact, and for the privilege of running this amazing company together over the last 4,5 years. We wish her all the best in her new endeavors."
