ClearlySo, the United Kingdom’s leading impact investment intermediary, announced today that Matthew Vickerstaff has been hired as head of investment banking. He brings a wealth of advisory, bank financing, fixed income and capital markets, project finance and other structured finance experience, as well as broad sector knowledge and expertise; which will be highly valuable for ClearlySo’s clients and investors.

The addition of Vickerstaff comes on the heels of ClearlySo’s announcement that capital raising activity for their clients has surpassed 100 million and the firm gears up for further growth as impact investing rises to prominence.

Matthew Vickerstaff, head of investment banking, stated: “I am delighted to join ClearlySo at what is such an exciting and dynamic time for impact investing, and for such a recognised leader in the market.” We are confident that Matthew shares deeply the values which underpin this field, and it says a great deal about Matthew that he saw the opportunity to use his valuable skills to change the world.”

Vickerstaff joins three other members of ClearlySo’s management team, comprising Head of Impact Services Lindsay Smart, ex-Vigeo UK/US head, Chief Marketing Officer John Lloyd, who recently arrived from Fintech leader Traiana, which successfully exited in a trade sale to ICAP in 2007, and Founder and CEO Rodney Schwartz.
