Piers Le Marchant - How to Raise Hundreds of Millions of Pounds for Charity
Piers Le Marchant, Gilbert, George
Former Lehman Brothers executive and banker established The Balance Foundation to redirect millions of pounds in unclaimed customer assets into charity after successfully navigating political resistance from the UK government. By leveraging high-level connections with the monarchy, he secured a £180 million donation that influenced subsequent public banking initiatives and is now replicating the model in Singapore and Switzerland. His ongoing work includes developing bonus reform schemes and integrating sustainability metrics into capital allocation models while advising professionals on using charitable engagement to build career resilience.
