Presentation
Joris van Oppenraaij is Manager Operations, Impact and Country Selection at the Water Finance Facility (WFF). WFF mobilizes domestic capital from institutional investors in developing countries and emerging economies to finance their SDG6 related infrastructure.
After finishing his MSc in Bio-pharmaceutical Science at the University of Leiden Joris joined an investment bank as an intern to gain experience and knowledge in business and finance. Following his long lasting wish to live and work abroad, Joris started his working life at a small consultancy firm advising businesses in emerging markets enabling him to live in Nigeria and Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka he developed a keen interest in international development with a focus on the water sector and finance and this has remained the common thread of Joris’ work ever since. At the Netherlands Water Partnership Joris led the development of a finance for water program from which he was involved in setting up the WFF. Since late 2018 Joris is fully employed by WFF, where he is in charge of operations, impact and country selection.
