He is the Founder and Managing Partner of GoodLight Capital, a purpose-driven investment firm focused on generating superior returns by backing high-growth, often overlooked founders across climate, health, education, and financial inclusion. His approach is rooted in aligning capital with community and long-term value creation. Jacques-Philippe co-founded and led MPOWERD Inc. from inception to international scale as CEO, delivering millions of solar-powered products to both emerging markets and global retail channels in 70+ countries. Previously, Jacques-Philippe was a Director at AIG Investments and PineBridge Investments, where he worked directly with the CEO of both firms. He participated on the investment committees of over $10 billion in global investments across real estate, private equity, infrastructure, venture capital, and hedge funds. He worked on high-level strategy, geopolitical risk assessments, and public market insights across currency, interest rate, and commodity exposure. Jacques-Philippe was a founder of The Council of Urban Professionals (CUP), where he led early corporate development—securing 23 new partnerships in just eight months, contributing to a network of over 80 partner organizations that now serves as a national hub for executive leadership across finance, business, media, and public service. As co-founder of The Mindful Arts, he is leading a movement to integrate ancient wisdom with modern well-being practices for individuals and institutions. He has served as a board member of the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s Build NYC and IDA, as well as Vice Chair of the Alliance for Collective Action, where he advanced regenerative capital models and systems-thinking in business strategy. Jacques-Philippe was an Advisor to George Clooney’s Hope for Haiti Fund alongside the President of Rockefeller Foundation, President of Mercy Corp, Executive Director of Robin Hood, and CEO of Council on Foundations, where he helped allocate $66m for disaster relief after the earthquake that led to the most deaths in human history. In the early 2000s, Jacques-Philippe hosted weekly 1,000+ person events in New York City over a five-year period, creating a cultural phenomenon that drew influential figures from across the entertainment industry—including Britney Spears, John Legend, Mos Def, Bruce Willis, and others. These gatherings became a dynamic intersection of business, creativity, and influence, attracting high-level leaders from finance, media, philanthropy, and public service. Jacques-Philippe leveraged this powerful, intersectoral network to drive impact in philanthropic and political arenas. Two decades later, the relationships forged during this era continue to position him as a differentiated and trusted insider, deeply connected across generations and industries.
