What Investors Look for in Leaders During a Crisis

Raising capital or non-profit funding today is a tall order. Investor Omar Vaishnavi, most recently Global Head of Distressed and Special Situations Investing at BlueMountain Capital Management, knows well the world of market dislocation, stressed organizations, and entrepreneurs and non-profit leaders looking to steer their ships in a storm.

Many of the social impact programs I've launched have been focused on putting tools into the hands of entrepreneurs, and so Omar’s thoughts on what stands out to him when dealing with leaders navigating a crisis and seeking capital or non-profit funding are timely in my view.
