Claire Rogers made a big shift in her career, she went from being head of digital banking at ANZ to become the CEO of Australia’s largest charity, World Vision Australia.

Claire’s move gives us a good indication of where this hugely influential charity is directing its priorities. As it recognises the evolution in how social impact is measured, in how the public want to engage, and the growing importance of partnerships.

She’s had a couple of years to find her feet at World Vision and she shared some really personal insights about the challenges she faced and the lessons she learned along the way, but also about how she adapted her skills and experience earned at ANZ, to help steer the growth of World Vision.

It’s interesting to hear Claire describe World Vision as a business, and donors as investors. It shares the language we use a lot on this podcast, language of impact investing, and of impact measurement.

I was keen to hear more about the finance side of things. Claire explained there’s a World Vision Impact Bond on the way, payment systems are going decidedly digital and they’re working with DFAT to help fund entrepreneurs who are stuck, in “the missing middle”.
