Janice Johnston

Janice has a deep and diverse investment background spanning over 23 years with highly regarded financial institutions in South Africa and London, including 10 years with Prudential Capital (part of Prudential plc) as Director, Principal Finance. On her return to SA in 2013, Janice made a conscious decision to apply her financial and investment skills into an environment with greater focus on social and environmental impact as well as financial return.

Consequently, Janice joined Edge Growth, a leading SA impact investor and accelerator for SMEs. She ended up as CE of its Growth Equity portfolio which invests in innovative, high growth companies with the potential for significant financial return and social impact.

Thereafter, Janice followed her passion for championing gender diversity by joined the Identity Partners Group, a majority black women led investment group, as partner of the recently established Identity Fund Managers. IFM is focused on building a leading majority women-led private equity fund platform in strategic growth and impact sectors that are currently under-represented from a diversity perspective which includes the recently established Identity Property Fund.
