2020 - Kelly GAUTHIER’97
It’s not essential to merge a life in the financial services sector with a commitment to securing micro-loans for new immigrants. That’s just part of the job for Kelly Gauthier, Managing Director and Partner at Rally Assets, who leads and advises on its portfolio of responsible and impact investment projects.
At Rally, Kelly has advised more than 50 market-leading foundations, corporate and private investors, contributing to over $250-million of capital invested in high impact solutions. Kelly is passionate about using the power of capital markets to drive the transition to a more sustainable, equitable and just economy.
A recent Ontario Volunteer Service Award winner, she was recognized for her work with Access Community Capital Fund. Access provides micro-loans to new Canadians, refugees and immigrants excluded from banking systems due to a lack of credit rating or collateral. She sits on its board of directors and chairs its investment committee.
“Kelly is a trailblazer in the sustainable investment field,” says the nominator for this award.
Previously she worked for Mercer Investment Consulting on the responsible investment team. She is also an active member of the Responsible and Impact Investing industries, speaking frequently and working on market building initiatives. She also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Responsible Investment Association (RIA).
Kelly has an MBA from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and a BSc in engineering from Queen’s University. She is married to Dr. Alun Ackery, an emergency room doctor and has three children.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.
Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
