In this episode, Bill Young, the founder of Social Capital
Partners, joins Lynn to talk about creating impact in systems.
Bill’s extensive business experience and social enterprise
successes have given him some important insights about learning
through experimentation, pivoting as ideas and opportunities
present themselves, and trusting in management teams and their
Theories of Change.
Bill founded Social Capital Partners in 2001 and has been one of
the leading voices in promoting social finance in Canada. He also
sits on a variety of boards and advisory boards for social
enterprises and community organizations.
Bill previously spent 20 years in the private sector, primarily as
CEO of Hamilton Computers and Optel Communications Corp (later
Axxent). He holds an Honours BA from the University of Toronto, an
MBA from the Harvard Business School, and is a Chartered
Accountant. In 2013, Bill was appointed as a member of the Order of
Canada for his achievements as a social entrepreneur and
philanthropist.
