Publisher's Synopsis
A career devoted to money-making - for himself and his clients at the millionaire's factory, Macquarie Bank - was never going to satisfy Michael Traill's deeper yearnings: his passion for social justice and his determination to make the world a better place. So at the peak of his career and only in his early forties he decided to leave merchant banking behind. 'Jumping ship' he joined Social Ventures Australia as founding CEO and his vision to bring the rigour and hard-headedness of the world of finance to the world of philanthropy and social entrepreneurship was realised, when they were instrumental in creating one of the largest successful social enterprises in the world.
