Inaugural System-level Investing Awards Honorees
At this year’s Symposium, TIIP proudly honored the recipients of the inaugural System-level Investing Award: Erka Seth Davies, Takesi Kimura, and Steve Lyndenberg. Each is a leader who exemplifies the core principles of system-level investing, seamlessly bridging bold theoretical innovation with meaningful, real-world application.
These honorees are true pathbreakers in the system-level investing movement:
Changemaker Erika Seth Davies
Erika embodies what it means to be a true systems thinker. Where others see isolated problems, she sees patterns. Where conventional wisdom offers incremental fixes, she demands structural transformation.
“For her revolutionary vision of system-level investment… For her insistence that capital must be a force for justice… And for showing us not just how to change the system, but how to build a better on — Please join me in honoring Erika Seth Davies—trailblazer, truth-teller, and the recipient of our inaugural Changemaker Award.” – TIIP
Catalyst Takesi Kimura
What sets Takeshi apart is his rare ability to build bridges across sectors. He has been instrumental in facilitating dialogue between institutional investors and central banks, emphasizing that true sustainability demands alignment between stewardship practices and macroeconomic policy.
“… A leader who doesn’t just diagnose problems, but actively builds the frameworks and coalitions necessary to solve them. He brings others along with him, expanding the field of vision—and action—for what finance can achieve. —Please join me in congratulating Takeshi Kimura on this well-deserved recognition for his transformative leadership in system-level investing.” – TIIP
Visionary Steve Lydenberg
Through his work, Steve has helped transform responsible investing—from a focus on cleaning up individual portfolios to a movement for reshaping the very systems that define economic outcomes.
“Steve once said that financial tools offered “a more orderly way of bringing these issues to the public’s attention—and to actual transformative change… We celebrate not only his groundbreaking ideas, but his unwavering commitment to making that change real. — Please join me in honoring Steve Lydenberg—visionary, pioneer, and the inaugural recipient of our System-Level Investing Visionary Award.” – TIIP
