## Resource

On this episode of Logistics with Purpose® , presented by Vector Global Logistics in partnership with Supply Chain Now, we sit down with Janine Firpo — co-founder of Invest For Better and author of Activate Your Money — for a conversation that connects finance, impact, and real-world change. With more than 35 years working across technology, philanthropy, and global development — including leadership roles with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Hewlett-Packard — Janine shares how a life-changing journey through Sub-Saharan Africa reshaped her career and inspired her mission: helping people, especially women, align their investments with their values. We explore the growing movement of values-aligned investing, why women are poised to control a massive share of global wealth by 2030, and how even small financial decisions can influence industries, communities, and supply chains worldwide. Janine also explains how Invest For Better has already helped thousands of women gain confidence and clarity around money — not through jargon, but through conversation and community. Whether you're new to investing, curious about impact investing, or thinking about the broader purpose behind business and logistics — this episode offers practical insight and an empowering starting point.
