Kristin Hull is the Founder and CEO of Nia Impact Capital.
Kristin is an educator, activist, entrepreneur and conscious investor. She began her career as a bilingual elementary school teacher, and then co-founded a Charter school in Oakland (North Oakland Community Charter School) and served on the founding board of George Mark Children’s House,
the first free-standing children’s hospice in the United States.
Interested in innovative solutions to leverage resources for social change, Kristin entered the space of impact investing while serving as a board member for various not-for-profit organizations and foundations. She serves on the board of directors for theMosaic Project, the Nicholson Foundation, Playworks and CAFWA.
Later, when her family sold their investing business, and started a foundation, she helped move the foundation assets to being 100% mission aligned. Since then, Kristin started the Nia Community Fund concentrating on conscious investing in Oakland. She is also a co-founder of Hub Oakland and serves as a peer coach urging friends and colleagues to investigate their holdings to ensure their investments are aligned with their personal and organizational values.
