Managing Director at Pickwick Capital Partners, member FINRA, SIPC, working to connect impact investors with social enterprises and entrepreneurs.
It was an honor to be asked to share my story with The 1911 Group’s Mitchell Brown. I’m proud to be an Southern Methodist University alumna. Thanks Mitchell Brown for organizing this wonderful 1911 Group whose purpose is to connect our SMU alums. Big shout out to the SWAN Impact Network and the SMU Cox School of Business Alts program! Lets get more women in Finance! #ponyup #impactinvesting #womeninfinance
In this week’s SMU Stories interview, we sit down with Heather Gilker founder and principal of Tokalon Advisors LLC and Managing Director of Pickwick Capital, to discuss her impactful career and the pivotal role SMU has played in shaping her journey. Heather brings over 25 years of experience in investing, community engagement, and strategy, with a distinct focus on sustainability and impact investing. As Executive Director of the North Texas Chapter of the SWAN Impact Network, she dedicates her efforts to advancing early-stage investments that create meaningful social impact. Her work through Tokalon Advisors exemplifies her mission of fostering a robust impact investment ecosystem in DFW and Texas. Heather's time at SMU Cox School of Business, where she now serves on the Advisory Board of the Alternative Asset Management Center, equipped her with the skills and network that have driven her successful career in finance and impact investing. From leading the Southwest development for Fidelity Family Office Services to serving as a judge for Lyda Hill Philanthropies’ Lone Star Prize, Heather continues to contribute to innovative initiatives and sustainability-focused strategies. In this conversation, we explore how her experiences at SMU shaped her path and continue to influence her work in building a better, more sustainable community. The 1911 Group is brought to you by our sponsors Security National Bank, SMU Cox School of Business, and Hilltop Property Tax Watch or Listen Now: https://lnkd.in/e6Y3njUn #SMU #SMUAlumni #1911Group
