Three high-profile leaders have joined Resonance, strengthening its leadership as it continues in its position at the forefront of social impact investing.

Candice Hampson and Erika Rushton MBE have been appointed as board members, while Danyal Sattar OBE joins as Managing Director of Impact Labs.

CANDICE HAMPSON
Candice brings over fifteen years of experience spanning impact investment, social enterprise, and technology for good. She spent seven years as Investment Director at Better Society Capital, where she managed a portfolio of nearly £140m and co-created Fair by Design, a landmark national initiative addressing poverty premiums through blended finance and systems change.

She now runs Forty Turns, a fractional consultancy, and currently works with the Impact Economy Collective to design and implement partnership working between government and the impact economy. 

Candice said: “Joining the Resonance Board is a privilege I have been looking forward to greatly. The organisation's mission aligns closely with my own commitment to tackling inequality, and I have been hugely impressed by the quality and dedication of the team. I cannot wait to get started.”

ERIKA RUSHTON
Erika is a creative economist working at the intersection of housing, property, and social investment.

Erika said: “The housing market has become a key part of the UK economy with many advantaging from ever increasing values; and rental incomes supplementing incomes, pensions and company profits.

“But the consequence of the market success for some means others are increasingly excluded from any access to a home they can afford and rely on. And without that everything else - health, education, employment, safety - fails.

“In taking up a role on the Resonance board I am honoured to be contributing to an organisation that has set out to change that at scale.”

DANYAL SATTAR
Danyal joins Resonance as Managing Director of Impact Labs. Prior to this, he was Chief Executive Officer of Big Issue Invest. Previous roles included Head of Social Investment with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, as well as holding positions including at Access - Foundation for Social Investment, Better Society Capital, Charity Bank and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. He was appointed an OBE in 2024 for services to social investment and business. 

Danyal said: “I’m delighted to join Resonance and continue my work in the impact investing sector. Throughout my career, I’ve seen the power of blending capital with purpose to address some of society’s most pressing challenges.

“Resonance has a strong track record of doing exactly that, and I’m excited to help grow its impact further.”

Resonance’s CEO Daniel Brewer welcomed the appointment of Erika, Candice and Danyal. He said: “We are thrilled to welcome Erika, Candice and Danyal to Resonance. Their appointments significantly strengthen our leadership as we continue to grow and I’m excited about the depth of expertise they bring.”
