Lindsay Clinton Starts as Editor of Microfinance Insights
Communications specialist and newly-minted microfinance guru Lindsay Clinton will be starting a new position this week as the lead editor of Microfinance Insights, a Mumbai-based publication through Intellecap. “Last fall, I read Muhammed Yunus’ book, Banker to the Poor, which piqued my interest in microfinance as a tool to empower women and develop emerging economies,” shares Clinton, who then began a wide search for a position linked to this field. She came across the Intellecap position soon later and flew to India to meet with them. “The position appealed to me for multiple reasons: I can use my current skill set to write, edit, and direct content; I will develop a brand and manage a small business; and I’ll have the chance to learn the insides of a new sector.”
Lindsay will be moving to India this week, after three years working with The White House Project, a NY-based advocacy nonprofit. “The White House Project has reached new heights. We just finished our most substantial undertaking, a summit through brought together women presidents and prime ministers to talk about global security. It’s hard to leave this organization, after seeing what incredible work we can do, but it’s good to go out on a high note.” You can follow along with Lindsay’s work in India through microfinanceinsights.com
