#61: In Conversation: Building the Future of the Field from Convergence to Action

This episode dives into the creation of the new report: “Reimagining Gender Lens Investing Futures: Possibilities and Perspectives from the Field” and the pivotal role of the 2025 Convergence event. Joy is joined by some of the authors of the report - Sanjana Chhantyal and Susie Pan - to discuss how the original plans for Convergence shifted, leading to a focus on reimagining the future of the gender lens investing field. They highlight the need to expand beyond dominant narratives and bring in a diverse range of voices and strategies. Together, they look at how the report can be used as a fundraising and strategy tool, encouraging field builders to reflect on their own roles, share their stories, and collaborate toward shaping the future. Looking ahead, they share excitement for Convergence 2026 and the collective opportunities to advance innovation, imagination, and systemic change in gender lens investing.
