Isabelle Foster

Isabelle has helped with the strategy, launch, and growth of WWF’s new impact investing venture. She helps lead WWF Impact’s Food Circularity portfolio by collaborating with WWF’s Food Loss & Waste (FLW) team to develop and implement an impact-oriented investment thesis to address some of the largest challenges perpetuating FLW globally. In this role, she supports efforts to leverage sustainable finance for nature and biodiversity by:

• Assessing opportunities where private sector innovations can further conservation and food system sustainability; 
• Building pipeline and conducting due diligence on early-stage, nature-based companies driving change; and
• Devising impact metrics and monitoring strategies for companies based on science-based environmental and social targets.

Previously, Isabelle co-founded and co-led a social enterprise addressing nutrition and food security. Isabelle also has international experience with impact investing in Morocco and has worked in Paraguay on policy and sustainable development, specifically helping with the country’s National Innovation Strategy.
