Martin Clark is CEO of Allia Impact, part of the Allia group which issues social investment bonds, runs centres for social and environmental businesses, and provides business support programmes for impact ventures. Martin has been with the organisation since it span out of the Relationships Foundation think tank in the late 90s. He is passionate about social entrepreneurship, author of The Social Entrepreneur Revolution, and is a fellow of the Centre for Social Innovation at Cambridge Judge Business School.
