We are happy to invite you to our last 2022 Impact for Breakfast in an open conversation with the economist, SDG advocate and author Mara Harvey, who has made her mission to teach children - and parents - the basics of successful wealth building.

---

Mara Harvey is multidisciplinary economist: next to her 20+ years of experience in private banking and wealth management (that led her to be appointed and as of January 1st, CEO of VP Bank Switzerland Ltd), Mara has been driving social and digital innovation across the financial industry on a global scale. As an advocate for financial literacy among women and financial parenting, she is the founder and CEO of a SmartWayToStart, and the author of very successful books such as “A smart way to start” - a book serie that teach children basic Financial Literacy and “Women and Risk: Re-writing the Rule” - about women and finance. 

For Mara, money is above all a source of empowerment, which allows us to achieve our life goals. And when money is combined with strong ethics and responsible choices, it can do great things – for us, for others and for our planet. This is why she sees money as an instrument to advance equality and sustainability. 

We are very honored to host Mara at Impact Hub Ticino and learn more about her life journey. Join us for this interesting conversation, we will touch on topics such as: 

• How our daily money choices have an impact in the world
