Behind every impact investment is a story of people, partners, and communities working toward something bigger than any one of them could achieve alone. Join Genus Capital Management for a conversation on what becomes possible when investors and collaborators build together. Through the lens of our new Impact Opportunities fund, Andrew Greer and Stephanie Tsui will share stories from the field and explore how collaboration is opening doors for measurable, lasting change.

As an client relationship manager, I specialize in asset management and financial planning for clients.
I value honesty and transparency. Our business is built on the understanding of our clients’ needs and objectives first and foremost. Trust is earned not granted and I strive to strengthen all relationships by doing the right thing. Continuing education throughout my career has been a professional accomplishment enabling me to reach my career aspirations.
As an avid golfer, I am looking forward to getting out on the course to try out my new driver. I also love being with my family out on our boat exploring the Salish Sea or skiing up at Mount Washington. I am the proud mother to three amazing individuals and fortunate to have the love and support of my partner.
