Healthcare specialist private equity investor Apposite Capital has appointed Christine Chang as head of impact. Apposite stated it targets and tracks six proprietary health impact objectives to deliver and measure positive health impact at portfolio and company level.

Chang was previously a member of the executive committee and investment committee at Big Society Capital. She also sits on the board of Thera Trust, a national charity that supports more than 1,500 people with a learning disability, and the investment committee of Snowball, a diversified multi-manager impact fund investing in funds which contribute towards social equity and environmental solutions.

Sam Gray, managing partner of Apposite Capital said: “We are delighted to be working with Christine, who has been at the forefront of impact investing for many years and has contributed hugely to its wider adoption by mainstream asset managers. We look forward to continuing to develop and enhance our own initiatives around health impact to the benefit of patients and the wider healthcare system.”
