Biography
Geoff is a Board Member of World Wide Hearing Foundation International, and
has served in this capacity since 2014. Growing up, some of his earliest
memories are of enjoying visits with his grandparents. It was during these
visits that he was first exposed to the magic of hearing aids as his
grandmother wore one in each ear.
As a teenager, he volunteered at the Mackay Centre in Montreal for several
years and some of the children he spent time with were hearing impaired.
It has been clear since a very young age how transformational hearing aids
are, and as a result Geoff is proud to be actively involved championing the
work of World Wide Hearing. As part of that work he has participated in
innovative hearing screening campaigns in Lima, Peru and in Kahnawake, a
Mohawk Community near Montreal.
Geoff has built his career over the past 25 years in the global investment
management industry. He has held senior institutional sales roles in asset
management at Bank of Ireland, Deutsche Bank, GE Asset Management and State
Street Global Advisors where he served as a member of the Global Working
Group for ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance).
He has also been an entrepreneur, originating the idea for and co-founding
TBC Capital Inc. (Thinking Beyond Consensus), primarily focused on raising
capital for impact investment funds. At the time he launched and ran a
speakers series on impact investing and social entrepreneurship called
EYE4IMPACT.
