Tracy Palandjian Biography

Tracy Palandjian is Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Social Finance, an impact investing nonprofit which is leading the development of Pay for Success financing and Social Impact Bonds, an innovative public-private partnership that mobilizes capital to deliver measurable and lasting impact on our communities.

For more than a decade, Palandjian has committed to re-imagining the role of the capital markets in enabling social progress. Inspired by Social Finance UK, Palandjian co-founded Social Finance in Boston in 2011 to build the Social Impact Bond field in the United States. The firm’s innovative financing approach has catalyzed over $150M to address a range of social challenges in criminal justice, early childhood, education, workforce development, health and homelessness.

Prior to Social Finance, Palandjian was a Managing Director for 11 years at The Parthenon Group where she established and led the Nonprofit Practice and worked with foundations and NGOs to accomplish their missions in the US and globally.

Palandjian is co-author of "Investing for Impact: Case Studies Across Asset Classes," and serves as vice chair of the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance. She is a trustee at the Surdna Foundation (where she chairs the Investment Committee), and a Director of Affiliated Managers Group. She is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s Community Development Advisory Council. Previously, Palandjian also served as Board Chair of Facing History and Ourselves, co-Chair of Robert F Kennedy Human Rights, and Trustee of Milton Academy. A former Vice Chair of the Harvard Board of Overseers and a 2019 recipient of the HBS Alumni Achievement Award, Palandjian continues to serve on various Standing and Visiting Committees at Harvard University.

Palandjian is a frequent speaker and writer on impact investing, social innovation and results-oriented policy making, having been covered in The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, The Economist, TIME, Forbes, and The New York Times. A native of Hong Kong, Palandjian is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.
