“Daphne is super to work with. Quick to understand what needs doing, totally pragmatic and flexible in getting there, supported by a healthy set of brains, tons of experience in our industry and a strong network. She has both been a resource person for us, helping out when we were short on own capacity, as well as a technical expert who knows her stuff on business development and finance. As far as we’re concerned, she is not done working for GOGLA yet!”
What we really like about working with Daphne is that she brings in both sharp investing acumen as well as deep knowledge of social enterprises. She is extremely well connected and always willing to make introductions . As a colleague, Daphne injects energy, professionalism and fun in a team dynamic.
Daphne is focused on the needs of energy entrepreneurs and start-up enterprises, bringing her years of experience to enable them to quickly address obstacles to growth. Her easy style and graciousness enhances her ability to sit across the table and deliver tough messages that produce results. Daphne is committed to enabling the positive changes that energy through enterprise can bring.
Ik heb Daphne leren kennen als zeer gedreven en enthousiast. Daphne is rustig en heel doortastend, zonder je te willen sturen helpt ze je om jouw doel te bereiken. Ik heb het voorrecht gehad om door Daphne gecoacht te worden tijdens mijn opleiding Sociaal Ondernemen aan Nyerode Business University en steeds weer wist en weet ze precies de kern te raken.
“Daphne coached us through the complex, multiple actor process of capturing our franchise organisation. She is a good listener, levels with everyone involved in an open, cooperative and joyful way – without losing sight of a clear common goal. She has a strong strategic vision and is able to translate this in to tactical and operational output as well’.
“We at Mlinda feel lucky to have benefited from Daphne’s broad experience and analytical insights into the renewable energy sector. Daphne was knowledgeable, helpful and flexible. A pleasure to work with!
Daphne has a very strong network in the energy access sector and that is why we started working with her as business developer. Soon we connected on a much more strategic level. Daphne’s insights in the sector specifically, and impact investing in general, made her an ideal person for our credit committee. We are happy to have her on board. With a clear strategic and structured view she pushes the organisation to a more professional level. At the same time she does not lose track of what is practically feasible for a young company like Lendahand. On top of that she is always driven and passionate about the social impact we make!
We work with Pit Pure Power on an on-going basis for our work in Africa, in building up the Sendea network of local solar entrepreneurs. Daphne is a very committed and dedicated person to work with. The combination of practical, local, on-the ground knowledge and experience, combined with a strategic view on the sector, and her network with impact investors, make her great to work with. Pit Pure Power has really helped us in taking the needed steps to start and scale up Sendea and we look forward to our continued cooperation.
We started working with Daphne when she was at DOEN, met her again during her time at ElectriFI and now reached out to work with her on empowering women in the energy sector in India. Daphne is commercial, impact-driven, strategic, passionate and dedicated. A unique combination that can really help us grow. She pushes us further in our thinking and sets a high standard in what she does.
It’s a pleasure to work with Daphne. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in working in impact investing. What make her stand out is her pragmatism and efficiency and ability to deliver results in a time sensitive manner.
