An exciting transition at FaithInvest!

We are delighted to announce that Dr Lorna Gold will be our new Chief Executive Officer from September 2023. She takes over from Martin Palmer who remains as FaithInvest’s Founding President. 

Dr Lorna Gold is currently FaithInvest’s Director of Movement Building. She has more than two decades of experience of international development and engaging the faiths on climate and financial justice.

She is a leading voice on faith-consistent investing in the Catholic Church and is Chair of the Laudato Si’ Movement Board of Directors, a global grassroots Catholic environmental network, bringing together 900 organisations around the world.

Dr Gold says: ‘It is a great honour to be taking over the leadership of FaithInvest at a pivotal time in both the faith-consistent investing movement and global efforts to address the urgent climate and environmental crises.

‘I look forward to working with FaithInvest’s many partners to accelerate the transition to a just and sustainable world, and I am particularly pleased to continue working closely with Martin Palmer, who retains a key role as FaithInvest’s Founding President and who is one of the world’s leading voices on faiths, the environment and economic justice.'

Martin Palmer said: ‘Having worked with Lorna for the last three years, we are thrilled that she has agreed to serve as our next CEO.

'As well as an extraordinary depth and breadth of experience in engaging faiths on economic justice, she brings bold ideas, dynamic thinking and a deep commitment to achieving fairer, more sustainable world for people and planet.

'While I am stepping back from the CEO role (as planned), I am very much looking forward to continuing to work closely with the team as we grow the faith-consistent investing movement.'
