Lisa Hehenberger is a professor and director of the ESADE Center for Social Impact, a research center parallel to the namesake business school, working with impact investment actors to promote best practices in the sector.

Founded in 2017 and fully independent from the Esade business school since 2021, this Think Tank collaborates with impact investors and entrepreneurs, conducting research in areas such as impact measurement and gender lens investing to enable sector actors to perform their work better.

“We use that information for the business school and, in a way, we also try to influence policies because all the research we do is important for political leaders to develop new measures that help actors in the sector,” Hehenberger explains.

ESADE Center for Social Impact focuses its research on the major challenges facing society: poverty, the environment, inequalities… Firmly believing that business solutions can help tackle these challenges.
