Welcome to the latest episode of the ESG in VC podcast where we are joined by Eleanor Kaye.
Eleanor built her career in operations, holding roles at MoneySuperMarket and Palantir before joining the Newton Venture Program. Initially taking up the role of Head of Operations, Eleanor was quickly promoted to Executive Director and now leads the team at Newton, which is a joint venture between London Business School and LocalGlobe VC.
Launched in 2020, their mission is to make careers in venture capital more accessible and ensure the next generation of investors represents the world that we live in. They do this through bespoke training and development programmes to help people from overlooked and underestimated backgrounds break into venture capital, or for those already in the space to accelerate their careers.
Together with Eleanor, we discussed how ESG is taught during the Newton programme, how blind hiring improves the hiring process. This is an honest conversation about the venture capital industry's diversity and inclusion challenges.
