The Team
Impact Investing at MassMutual seeks to make attractive financial returns and have a positive social and/or environmental impact that is measurable.

The MassMutual Catalyst Funds (MMCF) I & II — a $150 million commitment to increase diversity in, and access to, venture capital and invest in innovative products and services that advance economic and social mobility.
The First Fund Initiative is a $150 million commitment by MassMutual to address and overcome historic barriers to capital and advance capital equity.

The Impact Investment Principal will be a critical member of the Impact Investing team. The Investment Principal will report to the Head of Mass Mutual Catalyst Funds, and work with the MassMutual Catalyst Fund team on deal origination, underwriting, management and reporting on investments for the MassMutual Catalyst Funds.
This responsibility extends to evaluating what is proven effective and what requires further innovation as we seek to build up, evolve and expand both the MassMutual Catalyst Funds in addition to the First Fund Initiative.
