Don Barz

In 1997, he switched gears and became an investment advisor – and quickly saw the potential of investments as tools for change. His experience had taught him a lot about how the world works, how it needs to change and the power of activism and advocacy. He gained insight into analyzing corporate behaviour and seeing the human and environmental impacts when it is reckless and risky – so was naturally drawn to responsible investing. The field was in its infancy, and it was hard to find a home that would support him to do what he and his clients wanted. He worked with several firms before landing with Leede Jones Gable in 2016.
