I’m Patricia Hamzahee. I have spent almost a quarter of a century working in the very profit motivated world of finance, in one guise or another. After 15 years in global investment banking and then as a senior strategic communications consultant, I now seek to combine financial markets expertise with my knowledge of corporate communications, social enterprise and responsible investing.

I founded Integriti Capital to help to close the gap between social enterprise and private capital in order to forge enduring partnerships and deliver meaningful stakeholder engagement that can help change society. I am particularly focused on gender equality, racial equity and social justice.

As co-founder of Extend Ventures, I am working to improve access to funding for diverse business owners. As co-founder of Black Funding Network, I support intentional giving to small, under resourced Black-led not for profit organisations.

I am a Trustee of Ballet Black, Social Enterprise UK, Theatre Royal Stratford East, NFL UK Foundation and International House New York. I am a member of Women in Social Finance and the Advisory Boards of Money A+E and the Shaw Trust Foundation.

I am most proud to be the mother of twins, who provide me with constant motivation to build a better society for all.
