LOS ANGELES, Calif., 29 November 2010 (BusinessWire): TriLinc Global, a leading Impact Investment Company, today announced the appointment of Tim Morgan to the role of Director of Sales and New Product Development.  Morgan, 51, is responsible for the creation and launch of new products, including TriLinc’s Impact funds for retail investors.  

TriLinc’s mission is to mobilize private capital through a series of Impact funds designed to generate competitive financial returns and create measurable positive impact.  “By tapping the collective power of retail investors to help Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) create jobs, grow the middle class and create positive economic impact, we can help solve some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental problems,” said Gloria Nelund, TriLinc’s CEO and co-founder.  “Tim’s tremendous experience, extensive contacts and market insights are an incredible addition to our executive leadership and we’re very excited to have him on the TriLinc team,” adds Nelund.

In addition to his private venture capital activities, Tim’s 30-year career includes key roles in venture and corporate client relationship development/management at Robertson Stephens (a premier technology and healthcare investment bank in San Francisco), UBS, and Royal Bank of Canada.

As an ardent supporter of positive social change using sustainable economics and technology platforms like social media, dual currencies and micro grids, since 2007, Morgan has focused exclusively on “impact investing”, primarily in the clean tech space and most recently as co-founder of Hannah Energy, LLC, a Smart Grid private equity firm.  

“I had already determined that Impact Investing was where I wanted to focus,” said Morgan, “and I am convinced that TriLinc’s strategy to build an Impact Financial Services platform, creating a new channel between retail investors and SMEs, will be a game changer for Impact Investing.  According to the recently published ‘Money for Good’ study (Hope Consulting), market demand from individual retail investors for Impact Investment products is estimated at $120 billion, and TriLinc is uniquely positioned to help meet this need.”
