About

What We Do

We’re all about public purpose. Using a mission-led approach, we work with leaders and organisations that are seeking to foster a more regenerative and inclusive society through policy, investment and purpose-led reform. We turn ideas into action through strategic sensemaking and evidence-informed problem definition.

We live in challenging times, and many leaders find that they lack the capacity and resources to initiate or sustain change. That’s where we come in. We can help you bridge the ‘knowing–doing gap’ by developing sustainable, equitable solutions that have lasting policy and research impact.

What Sets Us Apart

Our key difference is our people. We’ll connect you with a constellation of cross-disciplinary experts in business, finance, government and civil society to help you achieve your goals. Our founder and director, Dr Anne Tiernan, understands the value of building coalitions to resolve complex issues using a practical, evidence-based approach. And that’s what we’ll do for you at Constellation Impact Advisory.
