E12 - Andrea Webster, Ambassador of the World Benchmarking Alliance
In this episode, Krisztina speaks with Andrea Webster, Head of Financial System Transformation at the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA). With 25 years of experience in finance, Andrea brings a rare insider's perspective to reshaping the rules of the game. At WBA, Andrea leads the effort to assess and rank 400 of the world's most influential financial institutions — including banks, pension funds, asset managers, insurers and development banks — based on how they perform across sustainability issues like climate, nature, human rights, governance, and ethics. The goal? To build transparency, alignment, and accountability across the system, and to push financial institutions to improve through peer pressure. Andrea explains why African financial institutions score highest on social impact, how regulation drives progress on human rights, and what bold leadership looks like in finance today. She also reflects on her own unconventional journey, from leaving school at 16 to becoming a global change agent. It's an honest, grounded, and hopeful conversation about how finance can evolve, thanks to the power of data, partnerships, and purpose to drive that change.
