Kostis Tselenis

Kostis Tselenis works with the team behind TWF FoF I, from Zurich and Athens.

He is managing partner of swiss impact office in Zurich, which invests in growth-stage companies and specialist funds where the return and the impact are held to one standard. Before that he spent a decade at Quadia in Geneva, latterly as investment partner and head of fund investments, building a portfolio across venture capital, private equity and other managers.

His earlier career was in conventional finance, in energy private equity at Bregal Energy and in corporate finance at Lombard Odier, which is what makes the later work legible: he came to impact investing from inside the discipline rather than alongside it.

He chairs the Hellenic Impact Investing Network, Greece's national advisory board for impact investing, and has served on the boards of a forest carbon company and an off-grid solar business. He holds a master's degree in banking and finance from the University of Zurich.
