Judith Toledano

Senior VC Analyst

After graduating from the ESCP Europe Master in Management, I started my career in London at Quadia, one of the European funds pioneering impact investing. This experience was my first anchor in the responsible investment world, and strengthened my passion for enabling growth of best-in-class tech-for-good companies.

I then joined Educapital, another investment firm focused on EdTech, before joining Yoobic, a French scale-up in the future of work in an operational/strategy role.

As I was convinced that impact investing had reached an inflexion point (maturing of technology, evolving regulation and changing consumer preferences), I came back to investing by joining the founding team of Estari, a nascent growth capital investment platform dedicated to supporting the future European champions in sustainability. With a generalist approach, we were focusing on diverse industries where the impact potential was significant: energy transition, mobility, circular economy, food systems and education. I was involved in the entire investment process, from deal sourcing to investment closing. I was also strongly involved in shaping the impact strategy and methodology, as well as the corporate development of the fund.

Joining Shift4Good was the natural next step, continuing my journey in responsible finance, and contributing to shape the future of sustainable transportation. 

What I love doing

Outside of work, I love spending time with my loved ones and exploring the world through travel. I'm also an avid board game player and creator, and I enjoy the challenge of designing immersive gaming and escape room experiences. Cooking is another passion of mine, especially when it comes to preparing Middle Eastern dishes that reflect my heritage. Bringing my family and my friends around a home-cooked meal is my favourite hobby !
