Beth Houghton started her working life travelling the world as a SAP consultant but gave it up for the world of deals.

Today’s she heads up Palatine Private Equity’s Impact Investing Fund and is one of the leading names in all things ESG.

She’s proved that doing the right thing for the environment doesn’t have to bad for business. 

One of her most noticeable successes was Anthesis, a sustainability consultancy which Carlyle Group bought for a 6x return on their original investment.

In the week of International Women’s Day, Beth also opens up about what it’s like to be trailblazing female dealmaker. 

In the second half of the show, Jonathan answers listener questions.
