Christopher Thorn AM - Capital Markets, Philanthropy and Finding Your Why

Welcome to Episode 26 of Good Will Hunters, with Christopher Thorn AM, Outcome Measurement Partner at EY. Christopher and I chat about his early aspirations of becoming a truck driver, and how he instead ended up a New York stockbroker, with a mission to prove that creating social value was good for people, and good for profits. Christopher was integral in establishing the philanthropic division of a major stockbroking firm, before eventually transitioning to EY, leading the firm's outcome measurement and long term value service-lines. We chat about why the private sector is the key to achieving the SDGs, and how to stay "close" to the frontline of impact when working for a private sector organisation. Christopher also shares some handy resources for those looking to enter the sector!
