E09 - Ana Laura Fernández, Vice President of Impact Investing at Fondo de Fondos
In this episode of Women Changing Finance, Ana Laura Fernández, Vice President of Impact Investing at Fondo de Fondos, where she leads a $70 million Latin America Impact Fund, talks about building Mexico's impact investing ecosystem.
The conversation dives into how her fund supports both emerging venture capital managers and direct co-investments across Latin America, targeting sectors like youth employment, sustainable agriculture, and climate innovation. Ana Laura shares how her team helps early-stage funds grow, why results-based contracts are gaining traction in Mexico, and how her role as Chair of the GSG's National Partner in Mexico is helping elevate the country's profile on the global stage.
This episode is rich with real-world examples — from supporting rural artisans through ethical fashion to scaling diabetes clinics that transform lives. Ana Laura also opens up about being one of the few women in investment leadership in Mexico, and how that perspective helped her champion deals others might have missed. It's a conversation about courage, trust, and reimagining what finance can do — one investment at a time.
