Laurie J. Spengler
Launching a business, particularly at a time of global uncertainty and pain, represents my conviction that each of us must move beyond our individual comfort zone, draw upon our skills, resources and commitments and take bold steps to contribute to the change we say we seek.
Confronting this reality motivated me to establish Courageous Capital Advisors. Drawing upon a career devoted to generating positive impact with the tools of investment banking and law that started before the phrase ‘impact investing’ was even coined, I am pushing myself to go further and deeper with my commitment to forward change.
