Blair Miller is Acumen Fund's Talent Manager, a position she assumed in February 2009. Her primary responsibility as Talent Manager is running Acumen Fund's Fellows Program, a program created to develop global leaders with the operational, financial, and management skills to run successful businesses combined with the moral imagination to create lasting social change. Blair’s experience in market-based solutions for development is drawn from both business and policy. She has helped develop a social impact assessment framework for base of the pyramid (BoP) business ventures like VisionSpring and Hindustan Lever's project Shakti, spearheaded youth-centered policies and education programs at the United Nations, and worked on a micro health insurance project with Ashoka's Full Economic Citizenship Initiative in India. Blair also worked with CARE in El Salvador to develop the business plan for an investment vehicle aimed at scaling small and medium-sized BoP enterprises. Blair holds an MBA from the University of Michigan and a BA from the University of Virginia.

Hi, projector found and booked for us for the event :)

Please note that there has been a room change, it will be the CHURCHILL ROOM in the London House of Goodenough College. Is just the building in front of the previous one so it does not change your travel plan.

See you soon
Mario
