As financial firms become increasingly attuned to issues of reputation, CSR, and environmental social governance, Vian is privileged to be at the forefront of these initiatives at international investment firm Investec Asset Management. Heading Global Communications for all regions ex.Africa, she has been a key player in identifying, strengthening, and communicating the initiatives we lead to support these global issues. Alongside this, as Foundation Partner at leading global digital asset brokerage BCB Group, she is spearheading the search for cutting edge innovation to accelerate our world towards a positive future. 

My work reflects my deep personal beliefs in the importance of conservation and sustainability. I have travelled to the world’s wild places to catalyse projects to protect indigenous animals and people. Most rewarding has been raising funds and participating in a project to attach tracking collars to the last elephants in Virunga National Park in DR Congo.
