Eva Neitzert

Eva is a leading practitioner of SROI. She was involved in the original development and piloting of the methodology at the New Economics Foundation (nef) and is one of the authors of the first official guidance, the UK Cabinet Office Guide to SROI. Eva has been involved in more than 30 SROI projects and so has encountered pretty much every obstacle to an SROI ratio you can imagine! She continues to be involved in the development of the methodology through the SROI Network methodology sub-committee and is one of the assessors for the Network's assurance panel. Eva is also an experienced SROI trainer. She developed the nef consulting 2-day SROI training course, as well as the first SROI Masterclass. 

Eva is particularly interested in heterodox economics. She holds a PhD from the London School of Economics, where she also lectured, and was previously the Head of the Business, Finance and Economics team at the New Economics Foundation. While at NEF, Eva oversaw a team of seven researchers working on green GDP measures (specifically the ISEW), banking reform and regulation, environmental valuation, community finance and social cost-benefit analysis (including SROI). She has authored reports on ISEW, SROI, and macro-economic policy.

Prior to joining Net Balance, Eva co-founded and headed up Just Economics, a research consultancy that uses tools from economics and the social sciences to address economic injustice and further progressive change. Just Economics worked with a range of clients from international development organisations, such as CAFOD and the Stamp Out Poverty Coalition, to UK charities, including the Jamie Oliver Foundation and Football Foundation.
