CBS Honors Andrea Turner Moffitt ’07 With the Social Enterprise Leadership Award for Advancing Gender Equity and Intentional Investing

After seeing the lack of diversity in the asset class of venture investing, center advisory board member Andrea Turner Moffitt ’07 wanted to find a way to open doors for women and other underrepresented investors. As part of a call to women (and men) to invest in women innovators, she launched Plum Alley Investments. The venture firm looks for companies that stand to improve society and the planet via new technologies or medical breakthroughs. It also stipulates that its portfolio companies have at least one woman in the founding team. At our annual Awards Breakfast in May, we were thrilled to honor Andrea with the Social Enterprise Leadership Award for her support of women-led businesses and social ventures, and her commitment to expanding social enterprise at Columbia Business School.
