Social Investment Scotland (SIS) has appointed Arran Dewar as executive director of SIS Ventures, its wholly-owned impact investor.
He joins from venture philanthropy organisation Inspiring Scotland, with his new role being responsible for growing the volume and diversity of businesses within the portfolio, working with existing investees to maximise their impact, and attracting more funding from private investors.
One of Dewar's first priorities will be to lead the launch of a fourth round of fundraising for Impact First, the fund established in 2018 to support impact-led businesses in Scotland.
