Join us for an engaging conversation exploring the intersections of regenerative farming and impact investment! We will be in conversation with Amanda Zakharov, Director of Investments at Dirt Capital Partners.

She joined Dirt Capital Partners in 2022 and is responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and closing new investments. She has a background in commercial real estate acquisitions and a passion for impact investing in sustainable agriculture. In roles at Strategic Office Partners (a platform of TPG Real Estate), Angelo Gordon, and W. P. Carey, Amanda acquired ~$2B in predominately single-tenant real estate, including office, industrial, and retail properties. Additionally, she worked on social impact investments in the food and agricultural sphere as an angel investor, consultant, and entrepreneur, with groups such as Slow Money NYC, Blue Marble Ice Cream, and Local Farms Fund. Amanda is also a CFA charter holder and serves on the board of Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders (SAFSF).
