“Graham is an excellent project manager with great leadership and creativity. While at KLD, he got to know each person's strength within a short period of time and brought out his/her best. Graham's leadership and passion for social responsibility were very inspiring. I highly recommend Graham and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again.” - MBA student, Boston.
“The CAS-CSR's Sustainable Finance Module at UNIGE was one of the best in the program. It was interesting, challenging and inspiring. Graham definitely put Finance under a fresh new light for me with his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm.” - Executive Education student, Geneva, Switzerland
“Graham's deep knowledge of and personal dedication for the Sustainable Investment industry made this module particularly insightful even for someone which already had a medium to advanced background in finance as well as CSR. I can but recommend Graham for his lecturing on Sustainable Investments as well as for his selection of pertinent reading materials/case studies and participating presenters.” - MBA student
“Thanks to his dynamism, his outstanding teaching qualities and expertise, Graham conveys easily to his students his passion and knowledge regarding socially responsible investments and the development of ESG approach. It has been a pleasure attending his course.” - MBA student
“Graham combines great teaching abilities with a natural authority. He encourages students to think for themselves and come to their own conclusions: this creates the perfect storm for creative debate and progress of everyone involved. Thanks to him, students, partners and colleagues get more sensitive to sustainability issues, contributing to making SRI a norm rather than a niche.” - MBA Student, Paris, France
“Graham taught me the SRI module at CAS in CSR from Geneva University and demonstrated his solid expertise in this field, explaining the complex sustainable investment value creation process in a clear and simple way that I cannot forget. He is a great and inspiring communicator, making people feel that every one can matter to create a more sustainable world.” - Executive Education student, Geneva, Switzerland
“It was a great pleasure being taught by Graham as part of the UniGe Certificate in Advanced Studies in Corporate Social Responsibility programme. Graham came across as deeply knowledgeable in sustainable investment. He taught us complex notions through easy-to-grasp analogies. He was persistent in getting us to understand the logic of and system behind sustainable investment. He used plenty of real-life examples. He had a great sense of humour. His class was an eye-opener in sustainable investment and sustainability for me.” - Executive Education student, Geneva, Switzerland
“Graham taught my Investment Strategies for Sustainability class in the Spring of 2007. It was a 2 day seminar class. The class was well structured. It was a nice balance of lecture and interactive presentations that the students created. Graham is a demanding teacher, requiring an extensive amount of reading. However, the readings were very relevant and important. In fact, at a Social Responsible Investing conference that I attended this past fall, several of the readings were referenced as a part of the discussion. Overall, I enjoyed the class and gained a broad understanding on the current state, challenges, and opportunities of sustainable investing. Graham has comprehensive knowledge on the subject, and I felt he was able to transfer that knowledge well.” - MBA candidate, top ten B-school, USA
“Graham is an extremely personable and highly knowledgeable professor who demands the best out of his students. The exercises and lectures provided interesting insight into the new and exciting field of sustainable investment.” - MBA candidate, top ten B-school, USA
“Graham is truly passionate about the work he does as is evident in his lively, informative and creative presentations. He is well-versed in topics ranging from the investment value chain to the complexities of ESG architecture. His talent lies in his ability to use illustrative examples, insights, and experience to engage audiences on the subject of investments. Graham is looking to spread the message about the importance of integrating ESG factors into investment decisions at the individual and institutional level and I have every confidence this message will be heard as a result of his influence in this space.” - MBA candidate, University of Geneva, Switzerland
“Graham taught my Investment Strategies for Sustainability class in December 2007. This 3 day seminar class was well structured and I enjoyed it a lot. It was a nice balance of lecture, real-life business cases and interactive presentations created by students. Graham is a demanding teacher. The extensive amount of reading required for the class is a necessary basis for thinking, discussion and debate in class and is well completed by practical assignments (e.g. company selection for a SRI fund) As a French student with a previous experience in SRI, I learned a lot about the current state and challenges of SRI in North America. Moreover, Graham managed to create a great atmosphere among the students, which also demonstrates his great teaching skills.” - MBA candidate, top ten B-school, USA
“Graham was an exceptional adjunct professor teaching Investments in Sustainability when I met him. He is an exceptionally talented speaker able to keep everyone in the class engaged throughout the 8 hours sessions. Graham has an uncanny ability to take difficult concepts and break them into easy to digest bits. He is refreshingly genuine, incredibly articulate and passionate about his trade.” - MBA candidate, top ten B-school, USA
