Meredith Shields

Meredith has spent the last nearly 20 years investing in and supporting early stage and middle market companies through private credit, private equity, and venture capital. For the last decade she has worked at the intersection of venture capital and social impact, making investments that seek inclusion and access for underserved communities. 

Prior to Citi, Meredith led the early stage, catalytic investment portfolio for the Sorenson Impact Foundation where she primarily invested in pre-seed and seed stage companies developing solutions to complex social and environmental challenges. There she served on the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance’s President’s Council, the Global Impact Investing Network’s R3 Coalition, and the University of Virginia’s Social Entrepreneurship Initiative. Meredith came to Citi in 2021 to lead the now $500MM Citi Impact Fund, which invests in early-stage companies that are developing scalable solutions for underserved communities across the United States.
