Ben Rick (@SASCapital_Ben) is the Co-Founder and CEO of Social and Sustainable Capital, a company that provides flexible capital to enable social sector organizations grow their social impact, tackle society’s most pressing challenges, and improve the lives of disadvantaged people across the United Kingdom.
After graduating from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (now part of Manchester University) in 1993 with a degree in Management Science, Ben’s plans to train as an accountant changed rapidly when by chance, he attended a Goldman Sachs recruitment event and was offered a Management Trainee position there. He describes his transition from the back office at Goldman Sachs to the trading floor at Lehman Brothers, where he worked as a Euro Bond Trader, followed by a move to UBS where he jointly ran the corporate bond trading department. He later became Managing Director of the EMEA Global Proprietary Trading Group for Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
In our conversation, Ben explains how after his years in the City he began to find the environment, the attitudes, and focus on personal wealth distasteful and how it was his desire to make a difference that led him to leave his City career and co-found Social and Sustainable Capital.
