Background

About Jack Bolland

At the City of Toronto, we drive sustainability with a triple bottom line motive to create economic growth, environmental & energy resilience, and social equality in the 4th largest city in North America. Recognizing we can not build the future of Toronto alone, we leverage strategic partnerships with external stakeholders to develop innovative business models and catalyze solutions for sustainable urbanization. True to my international background, I continue to promote the shifting trends around impact investing by mobilizing resources, both technical and financial, from areas of high to low concentration. My professional disposition has been shaped by exposures to: business development in the complex environments; global research initiatives on organizational management (through LSE, Harvard, & Columbia); overseas development & investment strategies; ESG performance management; institutional partnerships & stakeholder engagement; environmental & climate change risk management structures; exposure to the intergovernmental policy & negotiations; humanitarian relief and more. Specialties: Sustainable Development, Community Energy Planning, District Energy, Climate Change, Program Design, Project Management & Evaluation, Business Development, Nonprofits, CSR, ESG, Impact Investing, FDI & Trade, Analytics, Infrastructure Development, Charitable Fundraising, Social Activism.
