"We're in a super difficult moment. We need to reimagine capitalism," Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School, and member of the Ceres’ board of directors, said in her opening remarks at Ceres 2020.

Wildsmith has been instrumental in mobilizing the largest investors in the world to act on the climate crisis through initiatives like Climate Action 100+ and The Investor Agenda.
