Cassie Robinson is a Senior Practice Fellow at the Waterloo Institute for Social Innovation and Resilience and one of the initiators of the Wealth Design Studio, alongside a wider founding team to be announced shortly.
Having spent seven years working inside philanthropic institutions — including playing a pivotal role in designing and establishing the Emerging Futures programme at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, co-founding the Wealth Hackers Initiative, co-creating a field-building practice at Partners for a New Economy, and heading up Innovation, Policy and Practice at The National Lottery Community Fund — she now focuses on the deeper codes of the Great Wealth Transfer. Drawing on her background in psychology and her practices in systems innovation, futures and foresight, and transition design, she works with individual wealth holders, family offices, and those inside the wealth management world. Her most recent certifications relevant to this work include a Responsible Investment Association (RIA) certification in Regenerative Investing and a Trauma of Money™ (TOM) Professional Certification.
When she is not working around the flows of financial wealth, Cassie is building social and ecological wealth. She is developing The Steadying — an earthwise response network for the metacrisis, weaving systemic risk awareness together with practical and relational preparedness — rooted in an understanding of the world as alive and ensouled. Among the capacities she brings to this work are her certification in Embodied Ecology and her qualifications as a Fire Fighter Type II and Wilderness First Responder. Alongside this, she holds a strategy role for biocultural work in Wales with the Roddick Foundation. Further information about her practice is available at https://www.cassierobinson.work/. She divides her time between Canada, the UK, and Europe.
