The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG) has appointed the Rt. Hon. Nick Hurd as its new Chair, succeeding Sir Ronnie Cohen who will become non-executive President and continue to serve on the GSG’s Board.

Hurd’s experience as the GSG Global Ambassador for Policy and as Chair of the Impact Taskforce will ensure continuity as he transitions into his new role, according to GSG. He has already visited and collaborated with many of the GSG’s National Advisory Boards, most recently in Mexico and Israel.

Hurd brings a wealth of expertise to his role as Chair. During his 14-year tenure as a Member of the UK Parliament, he played a key role in establishing the UK as a world leader in impact investment.
