About the Author R. PAUL HERMAN
R. Paul Herman created the HIP(SM) methodology for investors, companies and organizations  worldwide to realize Human Impact + Profit (SM).  Herman’s financial acumen was honed at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, consultants McKinsey & Co. and CSC Index, and he helped accelerate social entrepreneurs at Ashoka.org and Omidyar Network.  

Herman advises investors and manages portfolios – including the HIP 100 Index –  using “The HIP Scorecard (SM),” which is also featured in Fast Company magazine and in his new  book.  

 Herman advises leading corporations – including Walmart, NIKE and Cisco –  and foundations on how to be more HIP.   His insights have been quoted in the   Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Forbes, BusinessWeek, and on CNN and CNBC.

“Paul Herman has written a book that is both powerful and empowering.   Powerful in that it describes a global economy increasingly driven by social, environmental and human factors that affect everyday profits.   Empowering because it provides a detailed roadmap for how you can participate in – and lead – this global transformation. The HIP book highlights how readers can earn both financial rewards and personal fulfillment in the process.”Â�

“Today’s financial markets demand a focus on the long-term, and forward-thinking investors are seeking portfolio choices that can benefit the world as well as secure their retirement needs.   The HIP Investor book is a blueprint for Wall Street and Main Street investors to create positive human, social and environmental results that lead to strong long-term investments.”Â�

“With real insight and clarity, The HIP Investor offers next-generation thinking for the growing field of impact investing. HIP’s data-driven, results-based methodology makes the case for how we can and must begin to link impact and practices to profits. I suspect that The HIP Investor will end up in the hands of every business school student interested in social enterprise and every conscious consumer who recognizes that today’s societal challenges require a whole new approach to doing business.”Â�

“Herman delivers a compelling message:   Societal value need not be sacrificed to create shareholder value.   Better yet, enlightened managers and investors can create a virtuous cycle where social value drives shareholder wealth, and vice versa. Now that’s a killer app!”Â�
=   Chunka Mui
co-author, “Billion-Dollar Lessons”Â�
and “Unleashing the Killer App”Â�;
Managing Director, The Devil’s Advocate Group

“It’s my direct professional experience that extraordinary profits are realized when companies embed positive environmental and social benefits in their products and operations.   Customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders ““ and society ““ all do well in this HIP approach to business and investing.”Â�
= Karyn Barsa

former CEO, Smith and Hawken;

“The key to both profits and positive impact is service to people.   Herman shows how investors can benefit by encouraging these two pursuits that naturally go together.”Â�

“As an investor, executive and entrepreneur, I have seen first-hand how successful commercial models can be an effective method for solving human needs.   The benefit of the commercial model is that it allows us to reach the scale needed to tackle the huge needs that have not been met by society. The best managed companies and successful leaders usually manage organizations that focus on the mission of positively impacting society.   This HIP book shows you how the Human Impact + Profit approach is a powerful combination that can create great value for your portfolio, your business and your world.”
= Alvaro Rodriguez Arregui
Co-founder and Managing Partner of IGNIA Partners LLC,
and Chair of the Board, Compartamos Banco

= Liz Cutler Maw
Executive Director, Net Impact
