Rebecca Colby

Rebecca Colby is an Associate Director at Social Finance, supporting the impact advisory services and impact investing teams.

Before joining Social Finance, Rebecca served as Chief of Staff at a financial inclusion startup in Gaborone, Botswana. She also partnered with a social enterprise in Sierra Leone to improve income and sustainability for local subsistence farmers. Previously, Rebecca worked as an aerospace engineer; designing, building, and testing first-of-their-kind aircraft such as Richard Branson’s SpaceShipTwo and Stratolaunch (the largest airplane in the world by wingspan).

Rebecca holds an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business with a Certificate in Public Management and Social Innovation and a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

I love collaborating with our incredible teams and partners at Social Finance, combining experience ranging from engineering to social work to government to solve the most important problems facing our communities.
