ABOUT

Impact Markets Inc. was founded on the belief that doing good and doing well are not mutually exclusive. We are driven by the conviction that measurable positive environmental and social outcomes can be achieved alongside risk-adjusted financial returns.

 

Under the leadership of David Schacht, who brings over 25 years of expertise in international strategy and operations, research, client service delivery, sustainability, and impact programs, the company focuses on advancing the impact investment market and its ecosystem. David’s extensive experience spans private and non-profit organizations globally, positioning Impact Markets as a trusted partner in this field.

 

At Impact Markets, we collaborate with private market investors at every stage of the investment lifecycle. Our services include impact diligence and analysis, critical evaluation of impact pathways, and the enhancement of impact measurement and management (IMM) practices. Our aim is to foster consistent, comparable, and actionable IMM approaches that drive meaningful outcomes.

​

Before founding Impact Markets, David held senior roles at organizations such as the National Geographic Society, GLG, CARANA Corporation (now Palladium), the CRUSA Foundation, and CEB (now Gartner), where he cultivated a deep understanding of global challenges, sustainable impact and operational excellence.
