Pearline Yum

Regional Director, Asia

The ImPact

As the Regional Director for Asia at The ImPact, I work most closely with families in the region, journeying with them individually and as a family to invest for impact more effectively. I create experiential and non-transactional spaces where families can come together to connect, learn, challenge, and get inspired to more intentionally create impact through their capital deployment. This trusted space and curated journey for families then enables deeper collective engagement on specific topics and for collaborative investments and experiments to emerge.

Workshop Salon: Thematic Trends & Challenges

Salon 5: Unlocking Markets Through Collective Catalytic Capital

This Salon will examine the understated power of aligned investors whose individual commitments, intentionally structured and aggregated, can form vehicles able to absorb risk, send credible market signals, and unlock significantly larger flows of capital.

Through a nuanced conversation on blended finance, shared standards, and cross-sector collaboration, we will explore how coordinated pools of purpose-driven capital can shift incentives, widen access in overlooked markets, and catalyse durable, inclusive, climate-aligned growth at meaningful scale.
