4800 Partners acquires IMPACTO Consulting to strengthen global impact and leadership
[Washington DC, 07/25/2024]: IMPACTO Consulting, the firm dedicated to helping organizations adopt changes that foster sustainability, social, and environmental impact, has been acquired by 4800 Partners, a global strategic advisory firm focused on delivering impact beyond the obvious. As part of an expanded 4800 Partners offering, the IMPACTO Consulting team will continue to advise clients — from banks and PE firms to international development organizations — on impact services ranging from Impact Measurement and Management (IMM), as they look to maximize positive outcomes for people and planet.
"It’s clear in our work that revealing and achieving impact beyond the obvious requires a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach,” says Belissa Rojas, founder and CEO of IMPACTO. “This acquisition means IMPACTO can go much further in helping clients realize social and environmental impact. 4800 Partners gives us a way to use impact to create tangible business opportunities and financial sustainability across an organization and at a much greater scale — the kind of scale the world needs.”
Since its founding four years ago, IMPACTO has grown from a small team of interim impact professionals with virtual offices in Washington DC, San Francisco, Lima, and Barcelona to a respected leader in impact advisory services. It has built an outsized reputation based on exceptional results for clients and partners like the UNDP, the Government of Canada, and the Inter-American Development Bank.
Following the acquisition, Hess will become CEO of the combined companies and Rojas will focus on her work as Chief Impact Officer at Canada-based Asset Manager, Fondaction Asset Management and the United Nations Development Program.
The acquisition brings together two complimentary teams: IMPACTO’s deep impact measurement and management (IMM) expertise, and 4800’s systemic approach to impact through a sustainability, finance, brand, and technology lens.
“The need for the kind of work IMPACTO does has never been greater,” says Juliana Hess, CEO of 4800 Partners. “For clients, this acquisition means even greater opportunity for impact. This expanded team has a broader set of expertise, access to a portfolio of innovative technologies, and a drive for creating impact at scale. We’re already seeing the power of combining 4800’s strategic expertise with IMPACTO’s track record and global reach across three continents.”
