Jankowska has nearly two decades of experience at the intersection of finance and corporate responsibility. She will lead the development of best-in-class ESG practices and policies aimed at safeguarding the long-term performance of Slate’s global investments. Additionally, Jankowska will oversee and advance Slate’s corporate social responsibility strategy and the integration of ESG into Slate’s investment and asset management processes, as well as stakeholder communications and reporting. Her focus over the next year will be to complete an ESG assessment of Slate’s assets under management, with an initial focus on Europe, before subsequently expanding to the entirety of Slate’s global platform.
“We are very pleased to welcome Bozena to our team,” said Brady Welch, Founding Partner at Slate. “From the outset, Bozena’s commitment to innovation and her entrepreneurial spirit set her apart from other candidates. She led the drive for sustainability in the finance industry well before it became mainstream, and her deep-rooted technical knowledge of complex global sustainability topics will be extremely valuable as we continue driving our ESG strategy forward.”
Blair Welch, Founding Partner at Slate Asset Management, added: “We understand that having sound ESG practices underpinning our approach to investment and asset management benefits our tenants, our communities and our investors. Bozena’s appointment displays our deep commitment to embedding ESG principles across our business.”
Jankowska was Global Co-Head of ESG at Allianz Global Investors (“AGI”), responsible for ESG integration across the firm’s investment portfolio. During her 15-year tenure at AGI, she pioneered a number of innovative ESG strategies and processes, establishing a global ESG team and growing AGI’s total sustainable investment assets under management from €70 million to over €30 billion. She also designed, managed and marketed the Allianz Global Investors clean technology fund – Global Ecotrends – which grew from $10 million in seed funding to $1 billion in assets under management, becoming a global franchise for the firm.
After leaving AGI, Jankowska founded a successful women’s sustainable fashion label, overseeing the brand’s business strategy and creative direction, including sustainable materials research and sourcing, supply chain management, and successful partnerships with non-governmental organizations focused on environmental sustainability.
“I am excited to join an organization that clearly understands how best-in-class ESG practices can play a critical role in long-term value creation,” said Jankowska. “I look forward to working with the team at Slate to continue raising the bar on the firm’s ESG performance and identifying new and innovative ways to add further rigor to our ESG approach.”
Jankowska holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from the University of Sussex. She completed her Master of Science in Environment Technology with distinction at Imperial College.
Jankowska joined Slate on November 22.

Unlocking Digital Gold’s US$700bn Opportunity19.10.2026 19:00:00 EEST | Press release
The digital gold market, worth US$45–55bn today, could unlock up to US$700bn in latent demand, according to new research from World Gold Council and Boston Consulting Group. The report points to substantial untapped appetite among retail investors, with nearly nine in ten surveyed saying they would consider digital gold under the right conditions. The US$700bn opportunity represents the report’s estimate of total latent demand that could be released if today’s barriers to adoption were removed, rather than a near-term forecast. The report’s five-year base case sees digital gold growing by around 27% a year to US$160–170bn by 2031. That could rise to US$270–280bn over the same time if more barriers fall faster. Momentum is already building as financial markets undergo a broader digital transformation, bringing tokenised investment products increasingly into the mainstream. Tokenised gold, one segment of the digital gold market alongside vaulted digital gold, has grown fivefold in value

TestGorilla Survey: Recruiters are Faster with AI, but Not More Confident They’re Finding the Right Candidates19.10.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
AI made finding candidates faster for 72% of US recruiters over the last 12 months, according to TestGorilla's Recruiting in 2026 report, a survey of 1,428 US talent professionals. That speed, however, did not make them any more confident they had found the right person. In fact, of the recruiters that claim AI has made them faster, a third reported no gain in confidence at all, and 18% say their confidence in the match actually fell. This press release features multimedia.

Of those recruiters, 67% now spend an hour or more manually checking a single candidate before they trust that person can do the job, and nearly 30% spend two hours or more. That is time AI sourcing was supposed to save, not divert to new, extra work. "Recrui
