About

Fatima Asif is a Senior Associate on AVPN's Partnerships team, working to cultivate strategic relationships with funders, corporates, and ecosystem stakeholders to mobilise capital towards impact across Asia. She joined AVPN in 2024 and spent her first two years deepening the organisation's engagement across West Asia, building relationships with senior stakeholders across philanthropy, financial inclusion, and social investment in Pakistan, the UAE, and KSA. It is this experience of working across diverse and evolving markets that shapes how she approaches partnership development today, with an emphasis on understanding what each stakeholder truly needs before positioning how AVPN can add value.

Fatima holds a silver medal in Accounting and Finance and scored in the 90th percentile on her CFA exam. Before AVPN, she worked on a global fund project that sparked her interest in impact investing and how capital can be channelled toward community-level change. When she's not building partnerships, you'll likely find her exploring the intersection of strategy and storytelling, whether that's through her work or her personal interest in creative writing and content.
