Mark A. Finser is President and CEO of RSF Social Finance. RSF is a non-profit, founded in 1936, leader in facilitating social finance and is dedicated to changing the way the world works with money. RSF achieves this by attracting and developing a community of philanthropists and socially responsible investors; putting donor and investor intentions to work through grants, loans and investments in organizations that create economic, environmental and social sustainability; and developing the capacity of individuals and organizations to explore the social implications of financial practices.

Mark was a member of the group that revitalized the organization in 1984. At that time, RSF had been dormant for several years and its assets were only $6000. In 1992, he was elected to the Board of Trustees and became President and CEO of the Corporation. Since then, RSF has grown exponentially in a number of areas. The amount of mission-related loans that RSF has made cumulatively since then is close to $100 million. RSF has also facilitated, through its philanthropic services program, $70 million in grants to social benefit organizations throughout the world.

Amongst others, Mark serves on the governing boards of:

• The Investors' Circle Foundation, a non-profit playing a leading role in the field of social entrepreneurship. Mark's role is to support the development of new concepts and vehicles that would encourage the flow of capital to environmentally-sustainable enterprises; and the
• The New Resource Bank: The bank's mission is to support sustainable and environmentally sound practices in commercial business and commercial and residential buildings. It is the first of its kind in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Mark says, "I am a student of philosophy and endeavor to find the spiritual in all that I do. I am driven by my desire to explore and bring to light the spiritual significance of money and the redistribution of wealth. The classroom I find myself in most often is RSF Social Finance, the organization I nourish and lead. At RSF, we continually examine how we engage with our clients, whether borrowers, investors, or donors. I am thrilled when a staff member helps a borrower recognize the ripple effect of how their repayments can mean the difference between the next borrower being given a loan or not. I see myself as a bridge-builder and often ask, "How can I help you?" The underlying values at the heart of this question are what RSF is about: when I help you, I help myself, which, in turn, creates a sustaining reciprocal energy in which we all thrive. On a macro level, it's this simple (though not always easy) perspective that causes me to see-and help manifest-transformation in our communities as I know so many others do too."

Debra believes that entrepreneurs can solve even the toughest social problems. That is why she devotes so much time to advocating for and advising social ventures in the United States, Europe, Africa, India and Latin America. Before joining the corporate world, Debra worked in the non-profit sector with food and housing cooperatives and in the Massachusetts state government, running an energy conservation program for low income residents. Debra joined Hewlett Packard in 1983, starting as a manager in the executive development group and ending as a senior executive. The common threads in her broad, 22 year career at HP were driving change, creating new businesses and producing positive social impact concurrently with good business results. She ran Manufacturing, Marketing and Human Resources at the division level before becoming a division General Manager. Then she moved to corporate headquarters and led a wide range of company-wide functions and initiatives. For the last 3 years of her career at HP Debra was Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Global Citizenship. In that role, as a member of HP's Executive Committee she had leadership responsibility for HP's global citizenship efforts including corporate social and environmental responsibility, government and public affairs, corporate philanthropy and HP's e-inclusion initiatives aimed at providing appropriate, technology based services and solutions to emerging markets and underserved populations. Debra was in the middle of many tumultuous changes at HP including the spin-off of the original Test and Measurement business to form a new company called Agilent and the hiring of Carly Fiorina, the first CEO ever brought in from outside the company. She stayed at HP because of her faith in and resonance with the values that Hewlett and Packard had embedded deep into the fabric of the company. In her last role she had the opportunity to champion those values both within HP and in the broader corporate community as the leader responsible for global citizenship during the aftershock of the cascade of corporate scandals at Enron, WorldCom and other big name companies.

Debra left HP in June of 2005 to catch her breath and focus on the challenges of economic development, poverty alleviation, environmental and social sustainability. She now spends much of her time building bridges building between corporations, government, non-profits, and academia, as she believes that these challenges are best tackled by weaving together the skills and influence of these diverse sectors. She is on the boards of the Skoll Foundation and Global Giving and the faculty of Sustainability. She advises a wide range of social ventures.

Debra has played an active role coaching and teaching classes at the Stanford d.school since Spring of 2006.

Dunn holds a bachelor's degree in comparative economics from Brown University and a master's degree in business administration from Harvard.

She gets inspiration and grounding by spending as much time as possible in wild nature and hanging out with her husband, Randy Komisar and their two dogs, Lola and Rufus.
