Katherine St. Onge
Director of Investments
As Director of Investments at BSW, I provide strategic leadership to the Investment Group and assist in the development and management of BSW’s comprehensive investment offerings.
My interest in financial markets was inspired by my father, who worked as a financial advisor and frequently illustrated the interconnectedness of all aspects of our economy. Growing up I also became deeply aware of social inequalities which sparked my curiosity about solutions to build a more equitable and inclusive economy that benefits and respects all participants.
My career began at Goldman Sachs, where I learned that virtually anything could be financially engineered while working with equity derivatives and structured products. The Great Financial Crisis, however, shifted my perspective and ignited a desire to leverage the power of financial markets for societal benefit. This drive led me to join the Louisiana Department of Economic Development, where I focused on allocating limited resources to create meaningful impact within the state. Seeking to expand my work to an international stage, I joined the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC, where I developed early-stage investment ecosystems across the Middle East and North Africa.
Over a decade ago, I combined my interest in finance with my passion for sustainability at Calvert Impact Capital, helping institutional and retail investors structure investments in mission-driven organizations. Most recently, I built and managed investment portfolios, many with an impact and sustainability focus, for institutions and family offices at Cambridge Associates. I’m particularly passionate about creating bespoke investment solutions that not only meet client needs but also support innovative technologies and structures advancing a more equitable world.
Outside of work, I enjoy embarking on adventures and finding creative outlets with my two children. Since recently moving to Boulder, my family has loved exploring Colorado’s hiking trails, ski slopes, and stunning scenery. I also enjoy cooking, practicing yoga, and traveling with my family whenever possible.
