Pedro Henriques da Silva

Pedro Henriques da Silva is an investor, founder, and publisher who has spent his career aligning institutional capital with purpose. That career spans GEM Investments, a prominent investment firm managing over $10 billion in assets, the leadership and boards of national foundations, and portfolio strategy, design, and management at Mercer. At twenty-eight, he developed and led an inaugural institutional engagement initiative that drove policy and due diligence changes across more than $7.2 trillion in assets under management and advisement, convened gatherings representing over $1 trillion in institutional capital, and earned national press coverage in outlets including Forbes, Reuters, and Semafor. He is the author of Leading with Justice, a pioneering, collaborative guide to environmental health in investing, and delivered a TEDx talk on the role of capital in developing systems of change and repair.

Seeing what the field kept missing, he built and launched Quoin, an independent publication and boutique impact practice for the stewards of purpose-driven capital, and those who build with it. The publication examines how capital and power move; his Visions of the Future series convenes the people whose work, lives, or perspectives hold singular insights for shaping both.

He is a board director at several organizations, with governance experience on both sides of the board-staff relationship. His work proceeds from a simple conviction: that capital is best judged whole, in the context of the systems and people it depends on, influences, and serves.

Henriques da Silva holds a bachelor's degree in Economics from Reed College, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and completed the General Course at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
