Upon Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Zevin Asset Management President Sonia Kowal was quick to share her perspective on the investment community’s role in enabling the crisis, and to offer solutions on how investors could best support Ukraine moving forward. In the weeks since, Sonia, a Ukrainian-American and former Russian-equity analyst, has continued to share her insights on the situation and what investors can do to mitigate further human rights harms. Her commentary has been featured in a number of webinars, podcasts, and interviews on the subject.
