Jackie VanderBrug has spent more than three decades working on how capital can be directed toward long-term environmental and social outcomes.
As Head of Sustainability Strategy at Putnam Investments, she leads efforts to integrate ESG considerations into investment processes, stewardship, and engagement.
Before joining Putnam, she worked at Merrill Lynch and Bank of America Private Bank, where she developed frameworks for sustainable and impact investing.
She is also the author of “Gender Lens Investing,” which explored how investment strategies can incorporate broader social considerations.
Jackie’s work challenges the idea that financial performance and sustainability are separate. She focuses on how the two can be aligned.
Her perspective reflects both institutional experience and a long-term view of how financial systems are evolving.
