Heather DesjardinsHeather Desjardins is the founder of Shepherds of Capital, a platform dedicated to transforming how capital is created, stewarded, allocated, and multiplied to strengthen the communities it serves.With more than fifteen years of experience across thefinancial sector, Heather has held executive leadership roles while working across wealth management, private capital, and institutional finance. She also served as Future Capital Co-Creator, helping to shape an international initiative, developed in collaboration with United Nations partners, that explored how broader forms of capital can advance human flourishing and long-term societal well-being.Her career led her to a defining realization. Capital is not defined solely by its monetary value. It carries the accumulated effort of human societies, and every decision about its allocation shapes the systems, institutions, and lives that follow. That realization became the foundation of The Weight of Capital and continues to shape her work through Shepherds of Capital.Through Shepherds of Capital Foundation and Shepherds of Capital Wealth Management, the Shepherds of Capital platform brings the principles of The Weight of Capital to life by equipping individuals, strengthening institutions, cultivating communities, and advancing the stewardship of capital.The Weight of Capital is her first book and invites readers to see capital through the lens of stewardship, recognizing that every decision about its direction influences the systems, institutions, and future that follow.
