Samuel Baumgartner

I am passionate about empowering people and communities to achieve social and economic development through sustainable finance. I am an equally strong believer in the incredible financial opportunities which will arise from tackling our largest challenges intelligently and collectively.

As a Swiss national who grew up in three Latin American countries, I have always been drawn to international environments. I have worked in nine countries across Latin American, Eastern and Western Europe and Asia. As a passionate global traveler, I’ve had the privilege of visiting over 60 countries. Growing up, I fell in love with the Latin American region and its people, and have remained close to it throughout my personal and professional life. Living, working and studying internationally taught me the importance of access to opportunities, education and health care to drive economic development.

I am a deep believer in peoples’ entrepreneurial spirit and drive, often both hindered and magnified by difficult circumstances. With climate change as one of the biggest challenges for our generation, I see financial independence as a means of increasing resilience and empowerment among the people most likely to truly feel the changes that are to come. I also see the tremendous opportunities available to those who chose to apply their capital to solve some of our generations greatest challenges. I joined Broadpeak as the link and enabler across these two worlds.
